September 7 According to "Every Sports", the average age of Real Madrid players this season is 25.8 years old, making it the third youngest team in La Liga, second only to Barcelona (25.4 years old) and Real Sociedad (25.6 years old).

Barcelona has a very clear plan for the future lineup: a young and talented team, supplemented by some experienced veterans. The team's path to success is based on the rise of the Lamacia youth camp: players like Yamal (18), Kubasi (18), Barde (21), Garvey (21), Fermin (22) and Casado (21) have become very important.

In addition, there are also some equally young and talented players: Conde (26), Joan Garcia (24), Pedri (22) and Ferran Torres (25). The future seems to be guaranteed, especially considering the rising stars from the youth training camp.

At the same time, Real Madrid is not willing to fall behind and continues its policy of signing young stars, such as Vinicius, Rodrigo, Guerre and Enderick. The White Army hopes to compete with Barcelona in the next few years. Due to the failure to cultivate too many big-name stars from the youth training camp in recent years, they have to introduce players from outside.

Just a few seasons ago, in the 2022/23 season, Real Madrid, coached by Ancelotti, had a record-breaking age of 30.1 in a league game against Vallecano. There were only three players under the age of 30: Camavenga, Valverde and Rodrigo.

Now, there are fewer and fewer members in that team. For example, in the recent match against Mallorca, the average age of the starting lineup dropped to 24.9 years. This year, Real Madrid has an average age of 25.8, the third youngest team in La Liga, behind only Barcelona (25.4) and Real Sociedad (25.6).

In order to build a lineup that can become the foundation of the future, this summer is crucial to Real Madrid. Heysen (20), Carreras (22) and Mastantono (18) join not only for the future, but also for the present. These three players have already gained a foothold in Alonso's starting lineup, especially the performance of the two defenders.

With the departure of Modric and Vasquez, there are currently few players over 30 years old in the team. Specifically, Courtois (33 years old), Rudiger (32 years old), Alaba (33 years old), Carvajal (30 years old) and Mendy (30 years old), among which Belgian goalkeeper is the only unshakable main force.

Young players are dominating the lineup of the two giants in La Liga. Now it depends on which team's young talents can stand out. The showdown and comparison between the players of the two teams seems inevitable. What is certain now is that both clubs firmly believe that younger age is the only way to success. On October 26, the two teams will face each other head-on for the first time at the Bernabeu Stadium, when young players will be the focus.
