Carles Miñarro joined Barça's medical team this season, replacing Dr. Xavier Valle. Previously, he had worked in the club's futsal and had an extensive career in the sports field.

His experience included years of work at the Centre d'Alt Rendiment de Sant Cugat and in the medical services of teams like Centre d’Esports Sabadell, Sant Andreu, and Terrassa FC. In the latter, he coincided with Miquel Olmo, father of footballer Dani Olmo.
