"I played in the reserve team with [Ronald] Araujo, Nico Gonzalez, Ilaix, and Ansu. We still comment on each other's Instagram posts and things like that. We don't call each other every day, but we still have a good connection. Back then, before his injuries, Ansu Fati was also incredibly good."
"It was perhaps the most extraordinary adventure I've had in my football career, moving from the far north to the warmth of Barcelona. As a young man, I learned and saw a lot. Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the biggest clubs in the world. For me, taking that step was simply a wonderful learning process."
Ludovit Reis, a Dutch midfielder who spent time with Barcelona's reserve team, shared the dressing room with several young prospects who later achieved success at the top level, including Ronald Araujo, Nico Gonzalez, Ilaix Moriba, and Ansu Fati. Despite not becoming a household name himself, Reis formed lasting friendships with these players that persist today through social media interactions. He described his move from the Netherlands to Barcelona as an extraordinary adventure and remarkable chapter in his career, providing valuable exposure to a different football culture. Reis also had opportunities to train with Barcelona's first team during his tenure at the club.
