Vicky López

Victoria López Serrano Felix (listenⓘ; born 26 July 2006) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder and a winger for Liga F club Barcelona and the Spain national team.

She also plays for FC Barcelona B. López began her club career in the youth sections of Madrid CFF in 2015, where she stood out as one of the best young female prospects in Spain.

[6] As her mother was spending long periods in the hospital near the end of her life, Madrid CFF's president and the club's players helped take López to and from training, as her father was not able to.

[9] Mellado attempted to convince López to join Madrid CFF's youth ranks, but she and her parents wanted to keep her on the same team with her friends.

[11] In 2019, López competed in the first La Liga Promesas Femenina, a tournament played amongst the under-12 sections of most teams in the Spanish first division.

[10][13] On 5 September 2021, she became the youngest player to debut in Spain's first division at just 15 years old when she entered the match to replace Geyse in the 73rd minute against Athletic Bilbao.

[16][17] In November, she became the youngest-ever player, male or female, to feature in a Clásico match when Barcelona won 4–0 over Real Madrid.

On the same day, she won her first title with Barcelona B, who were crowned champions of the 2022–23 Primera Federación, Spain's second-tier women's football league.

[17] In the 2023–24 season, López broke another one of Ansu Fati's records by becoming the youngest player to score a goal in El Clásico, which she accomplished at 17 years and 116 days.

[14][22] In October 2023, she was included in the 10-women list of finalists for Tuttosport's European Golden Girl award alongside three of her Barcelona teammates.

[26] López competed in multiple youth tournaments with Spain's under-17 national team, including both the 2022 and 2023 U-17 Euro and the 2022 U-17 World Cup, the latter of which she won.

[36] Though she did not have a prolific goalscoring tournament, her brace against Japan was significant, and her game play was said by ESPN to be important for Spain to control possession.

[41] In total, she scored 5 goals and was the joint-top goalscorer of the tournament alongside French players Liana Joseph and Maeline Mendy.

[38] As López was born to a Spanish father and a Nigerian mother, she was eligible to represent both Spain and Nigeria at international level.

[14] She won her first cap in the semi-final, subbing on for Jenni Hermoso in a 3–0 win over the Netherlands,[44] becoming the youngest player to debut for the Spain women's team, at 17 years, 6 months, and 27 days.
