Marc Muniesa Martínez (born 27 March 1992) is a Spanish footballer who plays for FC Barcelona. Mainly a central defender he can also play as a full back, usually on the left.

Born in Lloret de Mar, Girona, Catalonia, when Muniesa was only 15 years old, there were already transfer rumours that Chelsea wanted to sign him. At the La Masia youth academy, he developed quickly, and was ready to appear for FC Barcelona's first team at the age of 17.

Muniesa made his debut for Barça's first team aged 17 years and 57 days on 23 May 2009, as a substitute in a 1–0 La Liga home loss against CA Osasuna for the already crowned league champions. This appearance made him the second youngest player ever to feature for Barcelona, but he only played a few minutes, being sent off after a challenge on an opponent; the following Wednesday, he was named amongst the substitutes for the 2009 Champions League Final against Manchester United.

Muniesa and four other FC Barcelona B players were promoted to the first team for the 2009–10 pre-season, but he appeared almost exclusively for the B's in Segunda División B, contributing with 19 games and one goal as the team returned to the second division after 11 years.

On 15 February 2011 Muniesa signed a new contract with Barcelona, extending his link with the club by another year and raising his buyout clause to €30 million. On 4 April of the following year, the Blaugrana announced that the player had signed an extension to his contract, also being promoted to the main squad for the 2012–13 season.

On 24 July 2012, in Barcelona's first pre-season friendly, against Hamburger SV, Muniesa suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, going on to miss six months.<\/P>","97C471949E1057BED9C5A535F14529AAF72A852D44EC1724":"1","2299C98649C2E7A9E5F02ED855F2A9FC":"Al-Arabi SC,Girona,Stoke City,Girona[on loan],Barcelona B,Barcelona(U19)","e_index":6};
