Sergi Domínguez: A Rising Star in Barcelona’s Defense

Barcelona, 1 April 2005 – Sergi Domínguez, a 17-year-old Catalan defender, has emerged as the standout presence in the recent Barça training sessions ahead of their clash with Celta. Joining the likes of Kochen, M. Casadó, H. Fort, Cubarsí, Marc Guiu, Pau Víctor, and Pelayo, Domínguez’s inclusion underscores his growing prominence within the team.

Much like Christensen in the first team, Domínguez has quietly become a revelation, earning recognition for his performances with the Juvenil A side of FC Barcelona.

Despite being away from the media glare, his recent inclusion in first-team training highlights his potential.

Known for his prowess in aerial duels, adept ball distribution, and strong corrective abilities, Sergi Domínguez has been a regular in the youth teams of the Spanish national setup. As the captain in Barcelona’s youth squads, he brings leadership, authority, and a promising profile as a right-footed central defender. Despite starting the season with an injury and facing competition, he has rediscovered his best form, becoming a key player in the heart of the defense for the Youth League and the División de Honor Juvenil. Sergi Domínguez is undoubtedly a central figure in Barcelona’s future plans.
