The First Title Achieved by Cucurella in His Professional Career

Reactions continue regarding the career of Spanish defender Marc Cucurella, after the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' highlighted the details of his beginnings with Barcelona, before his professional career took him to several clubs, eventually reaching Real Madrid in a recent deal.

According to what the newspaper published, Cucurella grew up in the La Masia academy and had a very limited experience with Barcelona's first team, where he participated in only one match against Murcia in the Copa del Rey, playing only 7 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute.

The same source indicated that this participation came in the 2017/2018 season under coach Ernesto Valverde, in a match that ended with Barcelona winning 3-0, before the player continued his career outside the club's walls without returning to participate with the first team again.

The newspaper added that Cucurella, despite his few appearances with Barcelona, is credited with winning the Copa del Rey with the team during that season, making it the first title in his professional club career.

It also explained that the player later continued his career through Eibar, Getafe, and Brighton, reaching Chelsea, before moving to Real Madrid in his latest stop, a deal that garnered wide interest in the transfer market.
