Israeli Talent Oriyan Goren Debuts in New Role for Barcelona B

Oriyan Goren, the Israeli football prospect, made his first start for Barcelona B on August 26, 2026, in a 2-1 victory against Reus. Under coach Giuliano Balti, Goren was deployed in a new position as an inside forward, playing on the wing and cutting inside to enhance attacking options. This marked a significant change from his usual role as an attacking midfielder, which he played both in Barcelona's youth setup and preparation phases.

Despite not scoring or assisting, Goren showed several promising actions during the match. He was substituted in the 64th minute due to a minor sensitivity but left the field under his own power, with no serious injury expected. The game also saw key players Deko and Bojan Krkic watching from the stands.

Mauricio Priella, commenting on the match, highlighted the effective partnership between Goren and Belgian player Yassine Bissoubo as a crucial element of the game. This appearance was considered an important test for Goren as he adapts to his new role within the team.
