Israeli Teen Oran Goren Stars for Barcelona B with Dazzling Assist

Israeli talent Oran Goren, 17, has begun the season impressively for Barcelona B, the club's reserve team. Goren, a midfielder, was a key player in their dominant 5-0 victory over Naxara in the opening match of the Spanish fourth division. He showcased high-level performance in the midfield and was directly involved in the team's offensive success.

The highlight of his game came in the 77th minute when Goren executed a creative and unusual play. With his back to the goal, he flicked the ball backward over a defender's head with his shoulder, setting up teammate Ignasi for his third goal of the match. This spectacular assist garnered significant attention, with Barcelona's official website praising the young midfielder as a "magician in the center of the field."

Fans on social media also expressed great enthusiasm for Goren's play, comparing his style to a blend of Dani Olmo and Fermín López and emphasizing his importance to the squad. Catalan media outlets, including Sport and Mundo Deportivo, commended his tactical contribution and the excellent assist.

This strong start to the league season follows a significant summer for the young Israeli player. Goren participated in training sessions with the senior team under coach Hansi Flick, made an unofficial debut against Birmingham, and played in the victory over Al Ahli in the Joan Gamper Trophy. After making 36 appearances for the top youth team last season, Goren is continuing to seize opportunities and solidify his status as a major prospect for the club.
