Thiago Alcantara the new Iniesta

Rumoured to be leaving Barcelona and possibly signing for Man Utd

Scored a hat trick in today's under 21 final v Italy which Spain won 4 - 2.

This kid looks like continuing the Spanish midfield dominance for years, so how come Barca have screwed up his release clause and allowed Europe's other big clubs to come poaching?

They did the same with fabregas

The future's looking good for Spain.

Its frightening to think that the Spanish youngsters are capable of taking it to a higher level than their all conquering senior team,

Span doing every right whatever the set up regime is.

Fabergas and Jordi Alba were both gone on not a big price and Barca brought them back.

That Thiago took his goals well.

Italy are also progressing back to their best considering the past few years.
