He played a key part in the following season, in Primera Catalana, appearing in 31 matches and scoring six times, whilst being named on the bench with the first team in some occasions.
On 1 July 2014, Gumbau signed a three-year deal with FC Barcelona, being assigned to the B-team in Segunda División.[1] On 23 August, he played his first match as a professional, replacing Wilfrid Kaptoum in the 76th minute of a 0–2 away loss against CA Osasuna.[2] Gumbau scored his first professional goal on 7 September, netting his side's third in a 4–1 home routing over Real Zaragoza;[3] three weeks later, he was sent off in a 3–3 draw at RCD Mallorca.[4]
On 15 January 2015, Gumbau made his debut with the main squad, starting in a 4–0 Copa del Rey away win against Elche CF (9–0 on aggregate).[5] He made his La Liga debut on 20 September 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Sergio Busquets in a 4–1 home routing of Levante UD.[6] On 4 June 2017, he scored the winner for the B-side in a 2–1 away win against FC Cartagena, which proved to be decisive as his side advanced on the play-offs through the away goals rule.
