Barcelona Defender Names His Idol and the Best Footballer

Barcelona's left-back Gerard Martin spoke about his preferences in football. Journalists asked the 23-year-old player to name his childhood idol and the greatest footballer in history.

It turns out that these are two different individuals, but both are closely associated with the Catalan powerhouse club. "My favorite footballer during my childhood was Jordi Alba.

The greatest footballer in history is Messi," Martin's words were quoted by Barca Universal. Jordi Alba and Lionel Messi have been playing for Inter Miami since 2023.

The 36-year-old left-back is on the verge of retirement, while the 38-year-old forward recently extended his contract until the end of 2028. This season, Gerard Martin has appeared in 14 matches under the management of Hans-Dieter Flick.
