Marc Cucurella of Chelsea has acknowledged in media interviews regarding his career that leaving Barcelona may have been one of his better choices.
Finally leaving the Camp Nou in 2020, the left-back moved to Getafe before joining Brighton and Hove Albion in England. Naturally, it’s challenging since in my situation, I’ve always lived in Barcelona and my family is constantly here. It’s challenging to move to a new city or club when the music is different, he remarked.
“I realized that in order to play a lot of minutes and perform well, I had to step down. I believe I stayed at perhaps not the biggest clubs for a considerable amount of time—four or five years, maybe. But I always had football as my main priority, and maybe I’d get the chance [to sign with a major club] someday.
