Pau Francisco Torres is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Premier League club Aston Villa and the Spain national team. He began his career with Villarreal, making 173 competitive appearances and winning the 2021 Europa League; he was also loaned to Málaga.
Club career
In an expository term, Pau Francisco Torres who was born in Villarreal, Province of Castellón, Valencian Community, played youth football with Villarreal CF. The defender made his league debut with the reserves on 21 August 2016, starting in a 1–0 Segunda División B away loss against UE Cornellà.
The Villareal born defender scored his first senior goal on 8 October 2016, the first in a 2–2 home draw with CF Badalona. As a matter of fact, Pau Francisco Torres’ maiden competitive appearance for the first team took place on the 20th of December, when he came on as a late substitute for Víctor Ruiz in the 1–1 home draw against CD Toledo in the round of 32 of Copa del Rey; by doing so, he became the first player born in Villarreal to debut for the club in 13 years.
Unarguably, the Villareal star man played his first match in La Liga on the 26th of November 2017, replacing fellow youth graduate Manu Trigueros late into a 2–3 home loss to Sevilla FC. Again, Pau Torres made his UEFA Europa League debut ten days later, starting and finishing the 0–1 group stage defeat against Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. also at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
However, on the 6th of August 2018, Torres was loaned to Málaga CF for one year. The young star only missed four Segunda División games during his spell as the side reached the promotion play-offs and, subsequently, was recalled by his parent club.
The 25-year old defender subsequently cemented his place in Villarreal’s starting XI, playing every minute in the league. Neverhteless, in the month of October 2019, he was rewarded with a contract extension until 2024, and the same month scored his first goal in the Spanish top tier, opening a 2–1 loss at CA Osasuna.NYSC Portal
International career
Report from ESPN has it that Pau Torres got his first call up for the Spain national team by Robert Moreno on the 4th of October 2019, for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers against Norway and Sweden. But the report made it clear that he did not debut until 15th of November when he scored in a 7–0 rout of Malta for the already qualified hosts, within a minute of replacing Sergio Ramos; Dani Olmo also scored on his first cap in that game, the first time that two Spaniards did so in exactly 30 years.
