Andrés Palop Cervera (Valencian pronunciation: [anˈdɾes paˈlob]; born 22 October 1973) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper, currently a manager.

After having languished on the bench of hometown club Valencia for most of his stay,[2] he became a premiere player with Sevilla well into his 30s, helping it consolidate in both the domestic and European fronts.

As the club was crowned league champions in 2002 and 2004, he could only appear a total of seven times (all in the former campaign), and eventually grew unsettled;[2] he was also part of the squad that won the 2003–04 UEFA Cup in Gothenburg.

On 15 March 2007, he made headlines when he scored an injury time-equalising goal in the UEFA Cup round-of-16 tie against FC Shakhtar Donetsk, forcing extra time as a result – his team, which had drawn 2–2 at home in the first leg, went on to win 3–2, and eventually the competition for the second consecutive time;[6][7] in the final against fellow Spaniards RCD Espanyol he stopped three of four penalty kicks in the shootout, being named Player of the match.

[13] Uncapped, Palop lost a narrow competition with Pepe Reina of Liverpool for second choice at UEFA Euro 2008, but beat FC Barcelona's Víctor Valdés for the third spot on the squad.
