Ranking the 5 youngest debutants in Barcelona's history

#3 Bojan Krkic — 17 years 19 days

Bojan broke Messi's record to be the youngest player to feature in a Barcelona shirt

Bojan Krkic broke several records held by Lionel Messi at the youth level. Such was his talent and promise, many predicted him to become as good as the Argentine winger.

Bojan even made his debut at an younger age than Leo did for Barcelona.

He made his debut in the 2007 season, where he scored 10 goals for the club. However, Bojan Krkic could not live up to the hype around him and crumbled to the pressure.

He started to fall into an abyss at the club and was soon seen spending his time outside the team. He left Barca to join AS Roma. In his globetrotting career, he has seen many leagues and currently plays for Vissel Kobe alongside former teammate Andres Iniesta.
