Who Was The Colombian Player To Play For Barcelona? A Look At The History.

Yerry Mina was the first Colombian to play a match with FC Barcelona’s first team. He joined the club in January 2018 from Palmeiras and made his debut in a La Liga match against Leganés.

Mina’s arrival at Barcelona was met with much anticipation. He was a highly sought-after defender, known for his aerial prowess and his ability to bring the ball out of defense. However, his time at Barcelona was ultimately short-lived. He struggled to adapt to the club’s style of play and only made 19 appearances in all competitions before moving to Everton in the summer of 2018. Despite his limited time at Barcelona, Mina made a significant impact on the club’s history. He became the first Colombian to represent Barcelona at the highest level and his signing was a sign of the club’s growing interest in South American talent.

Even though his time at Barcelona was relatively short, Mina left a lasting mark on the club. His arrival was a sign of the club’s desire to embrace South American talent and his performances, though inconsistent, were often captivating. He brought a unique blend of strength, agility, and aerial ability to the Barcelona defense. Although he ultimately failed to secure a permanent place in the starting XI, Mina will forever be remembered as the first Colombian to grace the pitch for FC Barcelona.
