In my opinion, the Academy's team from 2002 played the best of the three teams. We saw that in the game they wanted to play football. The most obvious difference was that the Barcelona players are more advanced in their training and their individual skills were higher.  The more games you play under serious pressure, the better the players adapt to stressful situations on the pitch. Unfortunately, in the city championship they do not have so much strong competition and the guys are very rarely in situations like in a match with the Catalans. Decisions were made faster, and Barca were much more technical, but the more often you play with better teams, the faster you improve your skills.
