Barcelona U12's Beat Real Madrid 3-2 to Win La Liga Promises Tournament

Barcelona's Under-12 team completed an impressive double on Sunday in New Jersey, as they beat Real Madrid 3-2 to clinch the La Liga Promises tournament.

Prior to beating their big rivals in a dramatic final, the Blaugrana youngsters won the national tournament in Villarreal, per Ben Hayward of Goal.

As noted by the La Liga Twitter account, Iker Bravo was the star of the show for Barcelona and a key factor in the final, grabbing a brace:

Barcelona went ahead in the final through Jan Molina before a brace from Los Blancos' Hugo de Llanos swung the match back in Madrid's favour. Bravo then struck twice, including a late winner, to seal the prize for the Catalan club.

Per Hayward, the victory means Barcelona won every game they played at the tournament, with the only goals conceded coming in the final.

The La Liga side are revered for their youth development, with world-class talents like Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets honing their craft in the La Masia setup.

Players making the transition from the academy into the senior side were scarce under former manager Luis Enrique, although recent displays from this crop suggest the future is in fine hands.
