Who is Vicky Losada?
Early Career and Youth Development
Vicky Losada began her football path in the youth development program at Barcelona known as La Masia. After spending two seasons with the development squads, she made her first team debut in 2006.

During her time with Espanyol, she helped the team finish in fourth place in the league standings before returning to her childhood club.
Following Barcelona's promotion back to the top division, Vicky returned to the club in 2008. The team recorded regular mid table finishes and cup exits before a breakthrough in 2011. She started in the final of the 2011 Copa de la Reina, helping Barcelona secure their first major trophy in nearly two decades. The success continued into the following season when Barcelona captured their first ever Primera Division title, with Vicky contributing fifteen goals during that successful campaign.

She made her Champions League debut against Arsenal and later recorded her first goal in the competition during a match against Zurich. In 2014, she experienced a stint abroad in the NWSL with the Western New York Flash, where she recorded two goals and an assist in her debut and earned Player of the Week honors. She later returned to Barcelona before making a move to Arsenal in 2015.
During her time with Arsenal, Vicky won multiple titles including the 2015 League Cup and the FA Women's Cup. She started in the League Cup final against Notts County and played crucial roles in the knockout stages of the FA Cup. After her time in England, she returned to Barcelona for a second stint in 2016.
