A Spain U-21 international left-back, represents Benfica since January 2016, having been signed to increase the option in the defense. And he was immediately national champion.
He started at
Valencia
as a playmaker, but, from 2008/09, at the age of 13, he evolved as left-back at
Barcelona
– a club that is the holder of a world-renowned football academy.
However, it was at Benfica that he made a name for himself at the highest level of the European football
. Signed in the 2016 Winter transfer window, he made his debut in the First Division on February 29th, moment that was marked with a 2-nil triumph over União da Madeira, and
he could savor, at the end of that season, the taste of the national title (the third consecutive title), apart from winning the League Cup
, whose final he was in the reds’ starting XI. With
a path in Spain national youth teams, he made his debut in the Spanish national U-21 team when he hadn’t even completed 18 years of age
– he was 17 years, four months and 16 days to be more accurate.
