Clara Serrajordi: The Barcelona & Spain wonderkid wowing Alexia Putellas & Patri Guijarro

That focus on Serrajordi's role is particularly interesting. As Guijarro pointed out, the 18-year-old can play in any of them in the middle, whether it is as the deeper midfielder, a box-to-box one or as a No.10. At this moment, it's unclear whether she will settle in one or be utilised in many throughout her career, making a comparison to an established player trickier because there are different paths she could take.

For now, it's interesting that Bermudez, when calling Serrajordi into the Spain senior side for the first time, noted: "She’s the profile most similar to Patri that we have." It's in that deeper role that she has been used for La Roja, though, again, it is still early in her career and that could all change.

Guijarro can be an adventurous holding midfielder, too, as demonstrated by the 12 goals and 16 assists she racked up last season, and Serrajordi has those attacking traits to be a threat in the final third as well. As things stand, it feels like she sits somewhere between Guijarro, who plays in the deepest midfield role, and Bonmati, more of a box-to-box midfielder, on the scale between different roles. How that changes and develops as her career progresses will be interesting.
