“Barcelona” had a strong start to the pre-season, beating Club Europe (4-1) in a friendly match at Juan Gamper City before leaving for England.
The Catalan side were the better team throughout the match, but one of the biggest names to steal the limelight was Alex Gonzalez, who scored one goal and provided one assist after coming on late in the first half.
The newspaper reported.Sports“The young winger’s impact was immediate, finishing his second week under coach Hansi Flick on a high.
German coach Alex Gonzalez got the opportunity to participate in the preparatory phase of the first team after his remarkable brilliance in the youth team in the final stage of the 2025-2026 season.
Gonzalez moved to Barcelona from Dam Club and made his debut alongside Paul Planas at the start of April before establishing himself as a starter in record time.
After that, he got his chance in the first team, an opportunity that he showed from the first moments that he has no intention of wasting.
And against Europe, Alex assisted Ebrima Tunkara’s goal in the 48th minute after an outstanding run down the left, and just 10 minutes later took advantage of Tony Fernandez’s gift from the opposite side to easily score the fourth goal.
The two goals were the final blow in a friendly in which the result was not the most important thing, but an opportunity for Hansi Flick to watch the game of the most famous talents of the Barcelona academy, who benefited from the absence of a number of players due to the World Cup, to train next to the prominent names of the first team, such as Alejandro Balde, Fermin Lopen.
Alex Gonzalez’s integration is going smoothly
Alex had signed a contract that covered the remainder of his youth career, in addition to two additional seasons with the reserve team, where he is expected to play an important role. However, the technical staff of the first team decided to include him from the start of training to prepare for the new season.
The 19-year-old striker stands out for his ability to play on both flanks in addition to his prolific scoring output after he finished the season among the top scorers in the League of Honor group, in addition to his great dribbling and dribbling ability. So far, the player is handling this big leap in his career with great maturity.
In the current preparatory period, the process of integrating Alex Gonzalez into the “Barcelona” dressing room is going smoothly.
The youngster received support from the coaching staff and first-team players to ease his adaptation process, while the presence of teammates who came with him from the youth team, such as Gariba and Ebrima, helped him integrate quickly into the group.
Flick’s plan is to take all the young players he has managed in the first two weeks of pre-season to a training camp at St George’s Park.
As such, Alex is expected to make his first-team debut next Friday when Barcelona face Birmingham City.
