While Europe's elite are still figuring out how to stop the Barcelona machine from winning, the Catalans already have a plan in place to stay on top for years to come.
On Thursday, the club unveiled its new academy centre for youngsters - a new production line bent on creating the next Lionel Messi or Andres Iniesta to take the club forward when their current crop of superstars retire.
"It's a world recognised centre and I'm thrilled to be here for the opening," Iniesta told the club's website.
Iniesta came to the Masia in 1996 when he was just 12 years old and is just one of the many players who have come through the academy to go on to do great things for the club in the first team.
