Club career
editBorn in Sabadell, he began playing football with Pares Escolapis, the football team of his hometown school, and later he joined CE Sabadell, where together with men like Antonio Estruch or Tena I, he was part of a team that called itself the Tenórios. He debuted with the first team in 1921, and remained there until 1926.[3][4] His constant series of solid defensive performances eventually earned him a move to FC Barcelona in 1926, for whom he played for two seasons, in which he won championships of Catalonia.[2] In a time where defenders were known for tough and terrifying tackles, Montané was known to use his ability to steal balls from the opponents.[5]
Back then, it was impossible to live exclusively out of football, so Montané worked in a factory, which together with injuries caused him to leave football in 1928 when he was only 27 years of age.
International career
editLike many other Catalan players of his time, he was eligible to play for the Catalonia national team, for which he was a regular starter, playing 8 games between 1924 and 1927, forming defensive partnerships with the likes of Domingo Massaguè, Ricardo Saprissa or Pedro Serra. He helped the Catalan team win the 1923–24 Prince of Asturias Cup, an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF. Montané was a starter in the replay of the infamous final of the 1923–24 edition against a Castile/Madrid XI, where Catalonia came out as 3–2 winners.[6][7]
