Spain was mediocre most of its history but La Liga had a lot of good foreign players like Laudrup or Schuster who inspired dudes like Iniesta growing up. also Barcelona started investing in La Masia around the 90s

Most of La Masia players are literally poached from other teams when the players are 16, the formation of la Memesia is grossly overrated, Barça B is 2nd Ref
