A versatile defender who can play anywhere in the back four, she is also a threat going forward from set pieces

A player with plenty of experience at a variety of clubs as well as with the Spanish national side, Marta Torrejón made her debut as a teenager for Espanyol. In 2013, aged 23 she signed for Barça, quickly becoming a fixture in the blaugrana back four. 

Torrejón is a vital player not just for her defensive talents but also going forward, having scored more than 70 goals for the blaugranes in her more than 450 appearances. Since the 2013/14 campaign she has made at least 30 appearances every season for Barça. 

She retired from the Spanish national side in 2019 after having made 90 appearances for the team, a record at the time. 

TECHNICAL PROFILE

Thanks to her technique and pace, Torrejón can perform equally well at centre half and full back. The defender is also a threat in the air and a real danger at set pieces in attack.
