Marc Bartra

Marc Bartra’s aggressive defensive nature and distributing qualities that point straight to his Barcelona roots combine for a talented player. Bartra has always had the potential to become a great centre back.

And it already seems that Peter Bosz prefers him over Omer Toprak. Bartra has played the full 90 minutes in both of this season’s league matches. And he even scored a goal of the month contender against Wolfsburg.

Marc made a heroic recovery from his wounds sustained in the Dortmund bus attack. He has cemented his place as a regular starter, and also as a beloved Dortmund player.
