Barcelona have discovered the next Johan Cruyff.
Joshua Angoy Cruyff, the teenage grandson of the Holland legend, made his debut for one of the European champions's youth teams at the weekend, coming on 10 minutes from time during a 3-0 defeat of FPE Mataro.
Joshua is the son of Cruyff Snr's daughter Chantal and former Barcelona goalkeeper Jesus Mariano Angoy.
However, he is not exactly a carbon copy of his grandfather and prefers to play on the left of defence.
Johan spent five years at the Nou Camp after moving from Ajax in 1973 and later managed the club between 1988 and 1996. He is still influencial at the club and acts as an unofficial adviser to president Joan Laporta.
His son Jordi also came through the ranks at Barca, but failed to make the grade either with Barca or after moving to Manchester United. The 35-year-old can now be found in the midfield of Maltese side Valletta.
