Marc Muniesa is a Spanish central defender currently playing for Al Shahaniya in Qatar. A product of FC Barcelona's famed La Masia academy, the 33-year-old defender's career promised great heights from a young age. He made his first-team debut for Barça under Pep Guardiola and was part of squads that lifted La Liga and Champions League trophies, though his playing time was limited. Seeking regular football, he moved to Stoke City in the Premier League, where he became a reliable presence over several seasons. Spells in Spain with Girona and in Turkey followed before his move to the Middle East. A technically gifted left-footed center-back comfortable in possession, Muniesa's career has been solid if not as star-studded as once predicted. His main honors include a Champions League winner's medal and a La Liga title with Barcelona. He remains a composed and intelligent defender.
