Albert Jorquera

[2] His first appearance in La Liga was against Athletic Bilbao on 17 January 2004 (a 1–1 home draw where he put on a Player of the match performance)[3] and, the following season, following the departure of unsettled Rüştü Reçber, he joined the main squad permanently.

[5] However, on 29 December, playing an unofficial game for the Catalonia national team, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his right knee, which kept him out of the pitches for six months; eventually, RC Celta de Vigo's José Manuel Pinto was brought in until the end of the campaign.

On 9 December he got his first start in 2008–09, playing in a 2–3 home loss against FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the last UEFA Champions League group-stage match – Víctor Valdés, amongst other regulars, was being rested for El Clásico against Real Madrid, the following Saturday.

[13] In December 2018, Jorquera was second-in-command to the same former teammate at FC Andorra as part of Gerard Piqué's takeover of the principality-based club playing in Catalan regional football.

[15] Eleven months later, after elimination from the inaugural edition of the UEFA Europa Conference League by Hibernian, he returned to his job at Llagostera, now renamed UE Costa Brava.
