Marc Bartra, FC Barcelona's newest signing

At a very young age, Marc Bartra made his debut for FC Barcelona under Joseph Guardiola, but he couldn't break in with the likes of Gerard Pique, Carles Puyol, and Mascerano holding the center defense.

Two years later at the age of 22, FC Barcelona now has a new, more professional, matured Bartra who has the full ability to play alongside Gerard Pique.

It seemed Bartra would leave FC Barcelona to join Arsenal in the Premier League, but against Celtic, and now Valladolid, Bartra showed that he can start for a great team life in FC Barcelona.

The game against Valladolid was the best game he ever played for the senior team. Bartra protected Valdes and Barcelona from a shot on goal. The momentous moment came when Alves left the ball to be crossed down in the middle of the box, leaving Guerra to dribble towards goal, when Bartra took him out in the most perfect tackle seen by the youngster.

What made him more special was that he had the professionalism to point and shrug of Pique and Alves for the mistake they made. Bartra showed that at 22 he is no longer a youngster, he considers himself to be a senior player.

With Puyol, Maschernao returning in the next week, Bartra will still hold the defense with Pique till the El Classico. Bartra may not be used against the attacking Madrid side, but Martino seems to trust the youngster.
