According to Sport, Barcelona players have not forgotten Duro.
In January 2026, Duro's departure from Barcelona was one of the most unexpected and hardest-to-accept pieces of news for Cules. The young player from Pontevedra was considered one of La Masia's brightest rising stars and had already begun to enter the first-team picture under Flick. He made his La Liga and Champions League debuts, starting twice, and made a good impression by assisting in the 6-1 Champions League victory over Olympiacos.
However, Duro did not get much playing time. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder was impressed by Enrique's plans and decided to seek more opportunities. Paris Saint-Germain paid approximately €8 million to €8.5 million in transfer fees, higher than his €6 million release clause, and signed him until 2030. This transfer surprised and somewhat disappointed Barcelona internally, as Flick had previously held him in high regard.
Last Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League for the second consecutive year. In the final held at the Puskás Arena in Budapest, Paris played a tight match against Arsenal, drawing 1-1 in regular time, with Havertz scoring early for the English team and Dembélé equalizing for Paris from a penalty. Paris won 4-3 in the penalty shootout.
Duro did not feature much in this Champions League campaign, only coming on as a substitute for a few minutes in the qualifying playoff against Monaco. But this was enough for him to officially become part of the championship squad and make him one of the youngest Champions League winners.
Unsurprisingly, the Galician player quickly celebrated the victory on social media. He posted multiple photos and texts celebrating the win, receiving numerous well wishes from former teammates.
Many players who had worked with him for years at La Masia liked and commented on the post, including Yamal, Bernal, Espart, Marqués, Jofre Torrents, and others.
Additionally, many players from the Barcelona first team also responded positively, including Olmo, Raphinha, Gerard Martín, Cancelo, Balde, Kounde, Frenkie de Jong, Araújo, Joan García, and Bardghji. This action shows that Duro earned the respect of his teammates during his time at Barcelona, and the team's internal atmosphere was also good.
At just 18 years old, Duro has already become a European champion, and his future looks promising at Paris under Enrique. Meanwhile, Barcelona fans still believe that the new generation of La Masia players will help the team return to the pinnacle of Europe as soon as possible.

reason why Barca won't win the champions league will be because of la Masia, la Masia can give them la liga but not champions League, in a serious club balde and kunde shouldn't be starters, balde is so loved by the club that no one sees how terrible he is , some even once said Spain should pick him over Cucurela, like how ? kunde is too heavy to be playing as a right back , Gavi has nothing to offer Barca any more, ferran should be lucky he is Spanish, eric Garcia another miracle, many strikers will be happy any time they see Eric
