Guillem Víctor, a decade as a Barça player and a dream about to come true

Barcelona academy product Guillem Víctor, 19, is set to be included in the squad for the Alavés match after a decade at the club, with manager Hansi Flick showing faith in La Masia talent.

Guillem Víctor has spent a decade at Barcelona since joining from Junior Sant Cugat as a youth player. The 19-year-old from the 2007 generation has progressed through the academy ranks to become one of the captains of Barcelona Atlètic, the club's B team. A versatile defender who can play right-back, left-back, centre-back, midfield and even as a winger, Víctor is known for his consistency and reliability across multiple positions.

Manager Hansi Flick has demonstrated a willingness to promote young La Masia talent during his time at Barcelona, and Víctor is expected to be included in the squad for the upcoming match against Alavés. Flick may even hand him his debut with the number 40 shirt. Víctor grew up playing alongside other academy prospects including Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí, and was part of the youth team that won the historic treble of league, cup and UEFA Youth League.

Off the pitch, Víctor comes from a football-focused family. His brother Pau plays for Sporting Braga in Portugal's top division, while another brother Xavi plays for Prat. The family has spent considerable time travelling to watch their sons progress in recent years.
