The latest hot prospect to come out of Barcelona showed there is no end to the talent with a brilliant individual goal. 

South Korean teenager Seung-Woo Lee is currently competing for his country in the Asian Under-16 Championships in Thailand and lit up his country's clash with Malaysia.  

Picking the ball up just inside Malaysia's half, he wriggles between two players before skipping away from a couple of despairing sliding tackles.

The wonderkid joined Barca's famous La Masia academy three years ago and big things are expected of him.
