Mingueza, from Kiev to the elite

The Olimpiyskiy will always be in the heart of Óscar Mingueza (13-5-1999, Santa Perpètua de Mogoda). There he made his debut almost a year ago, on November 24, 2020, as a Barça player. He was a stranger and Nobody gave a penny for him because he had been a substitute for Jorge Cuencia and Ronald Araújo all the previous season in the subsidiary. But Mingueza he played with enthusiasm and without fear; Barça won 0-4 and Koeman, who is a fair coach, gave him the opportunity of his life. He knew how to compete.

A year later, Mingueza returns to Kiev. Above him, the same doubts fly over him as before the debut. But there are important differences. He has already played 50 official games for Barça (goal in a Classic included); extended his contract until 2023 and has a clause of 100 million euros and a market value of 15. He is an absolute international and a silver medalist at the Tokyo Games. The footballers who exceed the expectations of the critics are the best.
