Isaac Cuenca

Cuenca was capable of playing as a winger on either flank, being likened to former Barcelona teammate Pedro. A 2011 Bleacher Report profile described him as a promising young prospect, with good all-round abilities and above average dribbling skills, noting that his strengths were his tactical intelligence, technique and positioning, while his weaknesses were his defensive work-rate, physique, ability in the air and lack of end product or "killer instinct."

Early years

Born in Reus, Tarragona, Catalonia, Cuenca began playing football with local Unió Barri Juroca, going on to have spells with RCD Espanyol, FC Barcelona, UE Barri Santes Creus, CF Reus Deportiu and CF Damm before return to La Masia in 2009. He made his senior debut in the 2010–11 season, being loaned to another club in his native region, CE Sabadell FC of the Segunda División B; he made an immediate impact, starting in 24 of his appearances and totalling 2,288 minutes as the Arlequinats returned to Segunda División after an 18-year absence. In July 2011, Cuenca returned to Barcelona and joined its B team, alongside Martí Riverola. Shortly after, he was called by first-team manager Pep Guardiola to the preseason, and made his debut on 23 July against HNK Hajduk Split.

On 25 October 2011, after another game on the bench, Cuenca made his La Liga debut, playing the full 90 minutes and being booked in a 1–0 away defeat of Granada CF.

Cuenca had his first international call-up in November 2011, when Spain under-21 manager Luis Milla named him in a 20-man squad for European qualifiers against Estonia and Switzerland.

On 30 December the same year, Cuenca earned his only cap for the non-FIFA Catalonia side, in a goalless draw against Tunisia for the Catalonia International Trophy.
