Born in Palafrugell, Girona, Catalonia, Martí Filosia arrived at FC Barcelona in the 1966 summer, from neighbours CD Condal (he would later be loaned to the same club).^[1] He made his official debut on 16 October under Roque Olsen, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–2 derby loss against RCD Español at the Sarrià Stadium;^[2] it was his only appearance of the season.

In the following eight La Liga campaigns, Martí Filosia played alongside the likes of Juan Manuel Asensi, Johan Cruyff, Carles Rexach, Salvador Sadurní or Hugo Sotil, being used mostly as an attacking backup and winning three major titles, notably the 1974 national championship. He retired in June 1977 after a couple of years in Segunda División with UE Sant Andreu, also in his native region.^[3]
