Former Barcelona youth player Cristian Tello recently described Guy Assulin as the greatest talent he witnessed during their time at Barcelona's famed La Masia academy. Assulin, born in Nahariya, Israel, joined Barcelona's youth system but never reached the senior team, ultimately fading from prominence.
Tello, who himself played for Barcelona's senior team, making 59 league appearances and scoring 11 goals, including during the 2012/13 championship season, was asked in an interview with Catalan newspaper "Sport" about the most talented player he saw at La Masia. Without hesitation, Tello named Assulin. When asked who was the player he thought would succeed at Barcelona but didn't, Tello again identified Assulin.
Assulin's career trajectory saw him move on from Barcelona without breaking into the first team. Tello, after his spell at Barcelona, went on to play for clubs including Betis, Los Angeles, Al Fateh, and Al-Orobah in Saudi Arabia, and currently plays for Palm City in the UAE.
