Bartra Mark - Spanish footballerNow for the German "Borussia" from Dortmund. He was 25 years old, but he spent most of his career in Barcelona, where he waited for his chance to gain a foothold at the base. Bartra Mark plays the central defender position, but can also play the right-back position.
Period in Barcelona
Bartra Mark was born on January 15, 1991 inSpain, where at the age of ten years, got into the football academy club "Espanyol". However, his talent was so great and impressive that a year later he moved to the academy of one of the strongest clubs in the world, Catalan Barcelona. There he spent seven years, after which he signed a professional contract with the club.
However, in Barcelona it hasn’t been for him yetplaces, so Bartra Mark played mainly for the second team. Altogether in the double of “Barcelona” he spent 81 matches, scoring two goals. But in the main team, he periodically received calls. During these three years, he played eight games, after which he was already fully transferred to the main team, although he remained almost all the time in reserve.
For four years, Bartr has played 95 matches forBarcelona, scoring five goals. Together with the club, he won five Spanish Championships, three Spanish Cups and two Champions League. However, in the summer of 2016 it became clear that Bartre did not shine in his own club - this was clearly indicated by the purchase of the young French talent Umtiti. Therefore, for eight million euros, he was sold to the German “Borussia” from Dotmund.
Go to the "Borussia"
So decided to change the situation dramaticallyBartra Mark - “Barcelona” turned out to be an impossible dream, so he decided to go for a fall. In the “Borussia” he was taken as a replacement for Mats Hummel, who returned to Bayern Munich. In the current season, Bartra has already played 12 matches for the new club, in which he scored one goal and gave two assists, so far he has been doing his job quite well.
National team appearances
В сборной Испании Бартра дебютировал еще в 2013 year when he was only 22 years old. However, as in Barcelona, there was no place for a promising defender in the national team. Therefore, since then, Mark has played only 12 matches. He was called for a much larger number of games, but in almost all of them he remained on the bench during the whole game time. Bartra even went to the European Championship 2016, but all four games also sat on the bench, and did not get a chance to prove himself.
