It was like yesterday when the exit door for Inigo Martinez was wide open, and it was shut after Hansi Flick’s appointment affirmed the Spanish veteran defender to the starting XI at Barcelona.

In the summer of 2024, Inigo was a foot out of Barcelona. However, Hansi sees him as the perfect piece for his high-line tactics, which have worked out perfectly well in the 2024/2025 season.

Inigo Martinez has partnered with Pau Cubasi, a Barcelona wonderkid defender in the heart of Barcelona’s defense, and has kept the opponent in an offside position over 200 times, the highest in Europe, followed by Tottenham.

The performance of the Spanish defender has earned him a potential extension at Barcelona, as the German coach sees him as a crucial part of the squad despite his age.

The ex-Altheltic Bilbao defender has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 29 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona in the 2024/2025 season.

Inigo Martinez, who has the upper hand in the starting XI, will look to remain crucial for the Spanish giant for the remainder of the season with intense competition from Ronald Araujo.
