The handball player from Conejero, Miguel Ángel Martín (17 years old), fulfilled his dream of debuting with the first team of Barça this past weekend. However, it was not his only achievement, as he also established himself as one of the prominent names of the match in the game against Impulse Guadalajara, with nine goals in eleven attempts. 

With this new victory, the blaugrana club remains champion of the Plenitude Asobal League. The team itself has highlighted that the debut of Martín, who until now remains in the Youth category of the culers, was "through the front door".

In addition, national sports media, such as Sport, have been full of praise for the Lanzarote native, highlighting "his impressive debut" and classifying him as "the best of the match."

The call that changed Miguel Ángel's future was made by the former handball player of FC Barcelona, Raúl Entrerríos, who invited his family and him to visit the facilities of La Masía when he was only 14 years old. Miguel Ángel Martín himself advanced during an interview with La Voz de Lanzarote. Despite his parents' doubts, the Canary Islander was clear that he wanted to wear the blaugrana kit and has since played in the club's youth teams.
