Barcelona and Atletico Madrid faced off in the final of the Reino de León youth tournament on Sunday. A triumph of tiki taka finished in a pleasing 0-0 scoreline, with none of the players showing the mental weaknesses of other youth teams from elsewhere in the continent and attempting to score any goals.

This poor finishing form continued into the subsequent penalty shoot-out however and Barca's 14-year-old keeper Iñaki Peña saved six penalties. He finished off the perfect game for a goalkeeper by scoring his side's last penalty and then saving the opposition's last strike to win the championship.
