vicky lopez He made FC Barcelona history on Wednesday by becoming the youngest player to make his Camp Nou debut and play in a Champions League match for Barca. For both boys and girls, there was no previous record after the young pearl from Madrid entered the pitch at the age of 16 years and 148 days and surpassed Ansu Fatiwhich did so for the first time in 16 years and 321 days.
The path has not been easy for vicky, who at the age of 12 experienced the worst that can happen to a girl. An illness took his mother Joy cutting off their happiness at the door of adolescence. Football is an escape route and in fact the day he made his debut at FC Barcelona in an official match the first words were for him. “I dedicate it to my mother, who passed away and I want her to be proud of me.”
The same fate that took his mother from him gave him the opportunity to become a professional soccer player. Vicky, born in the Madrid neighborhood of Vallecas, was spending a summer in Benidorm at the age of nine, playing soccer on the beach, when she caught the attention of Alba Mellado Y Paula Ulloa. The latter, son of the president of Madrid CFF, Alfonso Ulloa, urged her father to convince the girl to join the youth academy in Madrid, and that’s what happened. Vicky’s father, focused on his wife’s illness, could not bring her to practice and them Alphonso and his family who took care of him in the early years.
Since he was little, he has dazzled locals and strangers with his characteristic ability and the talent that overflows from his boots. In the lower teams of the Community of Madrid and Spain, he was on fire in the stages, always leading on and off the field. At the age of 15, she became the youngest player to debut in the First Division of Spanish women’s football, in the ranks of the Madrid CFF and immediately attracted interest from some of the best. When teams like Real Madrid or Juventus woke up, Barça already attracted the Madrid forward, who lived in La Masia for a few months and lived as his life increased at a very fast pace.
He became the youngest player to wear a Barça shirt in any competition on his debut this year against Granadilla and now he has done it in the top continental competition. He is fast, he is off balance but above all he has a fearsome eye for goals. When he hangs around the rival goal, he is a real torture for rivals. His career has just begun and at Barça they are delighted to have signed the greatest promise in current Spanish football.
