Israeli Teen Oriane Goren Shines for Barcelona B, Earning Praise

Seventeen-year-old Israeli player Oriane Goren has garnered significant attention in Spain following his performance for Barcelona B. Goren, who was recently included in the senior squad for the first time in his career, returned to Barcelona B last Saturday and contributed an assist in their 2-1 victory over Arenas. Barcelona B currently leads the Spanish fourth division, with Goren being the only midfielder or attacker to play the entire match and be involved in a goal. Spanish media lauded Goren, with one publication stating he is "one of the best players for Barcelona B this season," highlighting his excellent combination play with the fullbacks. Polish account La Masia Polska praised his "excellent runs into depth" and noted he "won a free kick on the edge of the box." Catalan sports outlets described him as "among the outstanding players," adding that "there were moments when he showed how talented he is in an energetic full game." They also observed that a slightly more advanced midfield role "does him good."

Goren may be included in the squad for the upcoming Champions League match against Aston Villa. Barcelona B's next league game is scheduled for Sunday against Manresa.
