Gerard Martín Langreo

Gerard Martín is a Spanish left-back born in Esplugues de Llobregat on 26 February 2002. He developed through local football before joining Cornellà in 2018. At Cornellà, Martín progressed from under-19 football to the senior side between 2019 and 2023, reaching Spain’s Primera Federación. In July 2023, Barcelona signed him for Barça Atlètic, where he became an important defensive option. He made his La Liga debut for Barcelona on 17 August 2024 against Valencia, replacing Alejandro Balde as Barcelona won 2–1. During 2024/25, he made 28 league appearances, debuted in the Champions League against Monaco, and scored his first professional goal against Real Sociedad in a 4–0 victory. Although registered as a left-back, Martín has also been used at left-sided centre-back, drawing on his 1.86-metre frame, positioning and aerial ability. His disciplined defending and secure distribution have made Gerard Martín a useful option in Barcelona’s evolving back line.
