Joni Montiel is a technically gifted Spanish attacking midfielder who has found a successful home at Azerbaijani champions Qarabag. Born on September 3, 1998, the 27-year-old playmaker is slight in frame at 173cm but possesses excellent vision, dribbling ability, and a deadly left foot. Montiel started his career in Spain, coming through the ranks before his move to Qarabag offered him regular European football. In Azerbaijan, he has flourished, becoming a creative hub for the dominant domestic side. His performances in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League qualifiers have been particularly impressive, where his creativity has shone against top-level opposition. With a market value of €700,000, he is a key asset for his club. Montiel's style is that of a classic Spanish *mediapunta*, capable of unlocking defenses with a pass or a shot from distance, making him a fan favorite in Baku.
