Guillem Víctor, Barça's young right-back who has spent his entire childhood in the youth team, is preparing for a possible call-up in the next match against Alavés. At 19 years old, the youth player has spent a decade within the club's academy, and his consistent performance in all categories has made him one of the most reliable players in the training system.
Since his signing at Junior de Sant Cugat, where he was born, Víctor has risen without interruptions from Alevín C to the Barça Atlètic squad, where he now occupies the position of captain. His versatility is one of his greatest virtues: in addition to his natural position as a right back, he has played on the left, in the center of defense, in midfield, as an interior and even as a winger. Even in a friendly eleven football tournament, he was seen deployed as a forward, occupying the 9th and 10th positions. The youth coaches describe Víctor as a “wild card” who always delivers a high level, with performance evaluations ranging between 7.5 and 8.
During his time in the youth team, Víctor was part of the 2007 generation that achieved a historic treble, winning the League, the Cup and the UEFA Youth League. His defensive evolution has been notable: before he showed difficulties in one-on-one duels, but now he stands out for his ability to play from behind and his defensive discipline. In attack, he is characterized by his associative play and his reliability from the second line, providing a good arrival into the area.
Víctor's family environment is also closely linked to football. His three brothers are footballers: Pau, who plays for Sporting de Braga with number 10; Xavi, who is in El Prat; and another brother who is also involved in the football scene. The family, who spends long hours on the road and on planes, closely follows each other's progress, maintaining daily contact despite the distance.
Coach HansiFlick, who has shown great confidence in the youth team, does not hesitate to call on young talents when the squad needs reinforcements. According to the coaches' comments, Víctor is “a footballer who has been evolving into a professional player”, and his performance in the defense of Barça Atlètic positions him as a key piece in one of the most solid defensive lines in the competition.
Although the call-up against Alavés is a possibility, the final decision on Víctor's debut and the number he will wear on his jersey remains in the hands of Flick. For the future, the young culé continues working with the hope that his dream of making his debut in the first team comes true in the next games.
