Inigo Martinez: Hansi Flick told me I’d be first choice at Barcelona

Inigo Martinez has been enjoying himself this season at Barcelona. He’s a regular in the team and has formed a great partnership alongside Pau Cubarsi.

The situation is something of a surprise, given Martinez’s future seemed uncertain in the summer, but he’s taken advantage of injuries to Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen to cement his place in the starting XI currently.

Martinez says he did experience a nervy summer but Hansi Flick put his mind to rest when he told him that he would be first choice.

“Playing at 33 years old at Barça is not easy,” he told Catalunya Radio.
