Barcelona<\/a> are comfortably leading LaLiga<\/a> at the start of this season, with seven consecutive victories and a historic goal-scoring start under Hansi Flick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But beyond their dominance on the pitch, the club\u2019s influence, especially through La Masia<\/em>, appears to have taken over La Liga by storm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

According to Mundo Deportivo<\/a>, only two teams in LaLiga this season do not have a single player with a Barcelona past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In total, 35 players currently plying their trade in La Liga have worn Barcelona colours at some point, whether in the youth ranks or the first team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Only Racing Santander and Elche have squads without any such players, making them the exceptions in a league heavily populated by Barcelona graduates. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is a striking illustration of just how prolific La Masia<\/em> has been over the years, even if the vast majority of these players never truly established themselves at Camp Nou.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Deportivo A Coruna lead the way with six former Barcelona players, including Marc Casado, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Adama Traore, all of whom arrived over the past year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Real Betis and Celta Vigo each boast four, while the likes of Rayo Vallecano and Valencia have three apiece.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The trend has only intensified following Barcelona\u2019s summer clearout, which saw several young academy players leave in search of regular football.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Even Barcelona\u2019s fiercest rivals feature Blaugrana<\/em> products. Real Madrid have Marc Cucurella, who spent years in the club\u2019s youth setup, while Atletico Madrid signed Alejandro Grimaldo, once the youngest debutant in the history of Barcelona\u2019s reserve side. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Real Sociedad, meanwhile, added Hector Fort this summer<\/a> to complement Take Kubo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Elsewhere, the likes of Athletic Club\u2019s Robert Navarro, Villarreal\u2019s Ilias Akhomach and Malaga\u2019s Adam Aznou, a close friend of Lamine Yamal, all spent time in Barcelona\u2019s academy before forging their careers elsewhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It underlines the sheer scale of Barcelona\u2019s talent production, with players unable to break through at the very highest level still going on to enjoy successful careers in Spain\u2019s top flight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
