Balde made his Champions League debut this week in defeat to Bayern Munich. Here we see Balde's progress through the age levels at La Masia.

Balde joined Barça in 2011 from the Espanyol youth system at the age of eight. He is part of the 2003 generation, but has always played above his age groups, winning the league with teams at all levels.

Earlier this summer, Balde signed an extension to his contract to keep him at FC Barcelona until 30 June 2024, with the buyout clause set at 500 million euros.
