Aitor Egurrola Leizeaga

Aitor Egurrola began his career at HCP Castelldefels when he was just six years old.

He stayed there until 1992, when he signed for Unió Esportiva Horta, from where, three years later he moved on to FC Barcelona. Known by his teammates as "el Pulpo" (the octopus) Egurrola has matured into the team's first choice keeper, as well as international honours with Spain.

CHARACTERISTICS

Considered by many the best keeper in the game, "El Pulpo" is fast becoming a reference point for both his team and for all young aspiring keepers. His calmness and serious attitude, together with lightning reflexes and expert positional sense combine with a winning mentality to make Aitor a fundamental part of the Barca team.
