The generational gap is inevitable in all aspects of life, but it is more evident than ever in today’s Barcelona. A new generation of bold and fearless players, led by Lamine Yamal, has a mindset that completely contrasts with the principles of Barcelona’s older fans. This fearless group openly talks about winning the treble, while older Barcelona fans would cautiously avoid such claims. Moreover, they are the type of players who wish to face Real Madrid in every final. Now, their time has come.

Lamine Yamal, the leader of this group, has repeatedly stated his clear vision: “I am one of those who always believes in my team and strives for maximum success. At the start of the season, our goal was the treble, and it still is. This is not arrogance—it’s confidence. If you say another team will win, why even step onto the field? We can win the treble; we are Barcelona, and I hope it happens.”

He made these remarks two weeks ago in an interview with ESPN, echoing what his peers have previously expressed.

Gavi is no exception. When recently asked about Barcelona’s treble chances, the Andalusian midfielder said: “When Barcelona won the treble, I was very young, but at La Masia, I always dreamed of achieving a treble—or even a sextuple—with Barça. This is the best club for such achievements. It has been done before, and now we can repeat it. The fans should be excited because we are having a great season. But we must stay logical. We will fight to make the fans happy and win as many trophies as possible.”

Pedri has also joined this fearless group. During a book launch about himself, when asked about a potential Barça-Real final in the Champions League, he replied: “Of course, I would sign up for a final against Real Madrid because it means we’ve reached the final. There’s no reason to fear any opponent. A final against Real is exciting for all football fans worldwide. It means we are in the final, and that’s what matters. More beautiful games are ahead, ones everyone wants to be part of, and we must enjoy them to get the best results. Why shouldn’t we think about the treble?”

Now, it’s time for this group—which also includes Balde, Héctor Fort, Gerard Martín, Fermín, and Ansu Fati—to prove that fear and doubt belong in the past.
