Guillem provides weekly updates from behind the glamorous scenes of La Liga, keeping viewers up-to-date with all the latest news and views.

As well as discussing the hottest topics in Spain, Guillem casts an eye towards the live games each weekend and keeps viewers posted on David Beckham's development at Real Madrid during his time at the Bernabeu. He also works on for Spanish football paper AS. He is an avid Espanyol supporter.

Guillem attended University and learnt English in Liverpool, which explains not only his scouse accent when speaking English, but also his affinity for Liverpool FC. This, added to the fact that he is a personal friend of Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez, provided Guillem with the catalyst to write his book "A Season On The Brink - Rafael Benitez, Liverpool and The Path to European Glory".

Guillem also provides a weekly column in the free daily commuter newspaper Metro commenting mainly on stories involving continental football.

He is also seen around Liverpool on a regular basis, especially in pubs!
