Born on 7 March 1908 in Barcelona, Bestit began his football career in the youth ranks of his hometown club CE Europa in 1924, aged 16, before making his senior debut two years later, in 1926, a club where he played alongside his brother Tomàs.
On 10 February 1929, he was one of the eleven footballers who played in the club's first-ever match in the inaugural La Liga season in 1929.
[3] Two months later, on 28 April, Bestit scored a four-goal haul against Real Madrid to help his side to a 5–2 win,[5] thus becoming only the second player to do so after Barça's Josep Samitier in the 1926 Copa del Rey, as well as the author of the fastest hat-trick against Real with just 7 minutes, narrowly ahead of Oviedo's Emilín with 10 minutes in 1944.
[4] His goals played a crucial role in helping Barça win a three-peat of Catalan championships between 1930 and 1932.
[2][3] On 26 September 1943, the 35-year-old Bestit played one La Liga match for Espanyol, which ended in a 2–1 loss to Castellón.
