Juan del Carmen Cámara Mesa (born 13 February 1994) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Girona FC on loan from FC Barcelona mainly as a left winger.
Club career
Born in Jaén, Andalusia, Cámara finished his formation with Villarreal CF. On 3 June 2012, the very last day of the season in Segunda División, he made his debut as a professional, playing 27 minutes for the reserves in a 0–1 home defeat against Deportivo de La Coruña.[1]
On 3 July 2014 Cámara joined another reserve team, FC Barcelona B also in the second level.[2] He scored his first professional goal on 28 September, netting his side's second in a 3–3 away draw against RCD Mallorca.[3] He finished his first year with six goals in 30 matches, including a brace in a 3–1 home win over Recreativo de Huelva on 18 January 2015.[4]
Cámara was first included in FC Barcelona's main squad on 23 August 2015, remaining an unused substitute in their 1–0 La Liga win at Athletic Bilbao which was the season opener.[5] He first appeared in the UEFA Champions League on 9 December, replacing Jordi Alba for the last 16 minutes of an eventual 1–1 away draw to Bayer 04 Leverkusen as the Spaniards had already secured the first place in their group.[6][7]
On 10 February 2016, Cámara came on for Ivan Rakitić in the 76rd minute of a 1–1 away draw against Valencia CF in the second leg of Copa del Rey semi-finals, providing the assist for Wilfrid Kaptoum's goal.[8] This scoreline also served to extend Barcelona's unbeaten run to 29 games, breaking the previous record of 28 set under Pep Guardiola in the 2010–11 campaign.[9]
On 31 August 2016, Cámara was loaned to Girona FC in the second level, for one year.[10]
