Photos: The Barcelona Star Who Bears a Striking Resemblance to Cristiano Ronaldo

• Barcelona's latest signing Noah Darvich has a likeness of Cristiano Ronaldo
• Darvich joined the Camp Nou outfit from Freiburg
• He made his debut for Barca in a pre-season friendly against Lleida

Not only have we discovered that Barcelona's recent acquisition, Noah Darvich, bears a resemblance to Cristiano Ronaldo, but he has also made a notable debut for Barca Atletic.

Darvich stood out as one of the prominent players, achieving an assist and orchestrating a ball recovery within just 30 minutes of play.

His debut was certainly one to be remembered. In the Blaugrana shirt, he's already becoming a significant figure, potentially even surpassing Ronaldo in terms of legend status.

Barcelona's reserve team, competing in the third tier, secured a 3-0 victory over Lleida, a team from the fourth division, in a friendly match, per Tribuna.

Darvich exhibits a strong left-footed skillset and is characterized as a versatile attacker, adept at assuming various advanced positions on the field.

Beyond his natural left side, the young player can seamlessly transition from the right flank and also operate as a central playmaker.

Due to his youth and limited experience, the likelihood of securing a significant role in Xavi Hernandez's La Liga championship-winning team for the upcoming season seems remote.

Instead, it is anticipated that he will integrate into Rafa Marquez's Barca Atletic squad.

During this time, he will likely immerse himself in Barcelona's renowned possession-focused style of play and undergo further development, in line with the club's philosophy ingrained in their emerging talents.

When did Darvich join Barcelona?

Earlier this month, Barcelona revealed that Darvich signed a contract until the summer of 2026, featuring a substantial release clause of one billion euros.

The 16-year-old prodigy joined the Catalans for a fee around the region of €2.5 million from Freiburg, Tribal Football reported.

Yamal makes Barcelona history

15-year-old forward Lamine Yamal has made Barcelona history with his appearance against Real Betis.

The player became the youngest-ever player for the Catalan side in La Liga.

The winger replaced Gavi with four minutes plus stoppage time remaining to make his debut at 15 years, nine months and 16 days old.
