Gerard Martín Assigned Squad Number 18 at Barcelona After Successful Registration

Barcelona defender Gerard Martín has officially received a new squad number, 18, after being successfully registered for La Liga play. The 23-year-old Spanish youth international had a challenging start to the season, missing Barcelona's first two fixtures due to administrative issues stemming from the club's financial problems. However, his situation has now improved, with La Liga's official website confirming his registration.

This change also reflects Martín's growing importance within manager Hansi Flick's squad. The young defender, who has been a standout performer in recent training sessions, is expected to play a more prominent role in the upcoming matches. His resilience in overcoming the early-season hurdles has been commended by fans and club officials alike.

With his registration now secure, Martín can focus on contributing to Barcelona's campaign in La Liga and other competitions. The club's supporters will be eager to see him in action, donning the number 18 jersey, as the season progresses.
