"We will see him again as a centre-back, yes. He gives us the ability to build, and he played excellently. When he is on the pitch, we know exactly what he will deliver. We trust him 100%. He has worked a lot over the last year,"
"Before the match, my mother sent me photos of me as a child sitting here watching the games. When you enter to play, you feel deeply moved, especially when it's with Barcelona,"
Gerard Martín has transitioned into a left centre-back role and become a key figure in Barcelona's defence. Hansi Flick values his versatility and trusts him fully, noting his ability to build play and deliver consistent performances. Martín excelled in a 4-0 win over Athletic Club, recording four clearances, five ball recoveries, one blocked shot, and winning all five duels contested. He completed 88 of 97 passes (91% accuracy), with 97% accuracy in his own half, demonstrating exceptional composure in possession. The Camp Nou debut in the central role carried deep emotional significance for him. His seamless transition secures tactical cover on the left flank or central defence.
