Club career
Real Madrid
López was born in Paradela, Lugo, Galicia. A youth graduate from hometown's CD Lugo he moved to Real Madrid at almost 19 and, after a loan at another side from the capital, AD Alcorcón, he eventually moved up to Real's B-team, starting in his second season, which ended in Segunda División promotion.López served as first-team backup to Iker Casillas in the following two La Liga seasons: in the closing stages of 2005–06 he appeared in back-to-back away wins, against CA Osasuna (as Casillas was sent off)[1] and Racing de Santander,[2] adding a UEFA Champions League group stage game at Olympiakos FC, a 1–2 defeat.[3]
Villarreal
In late June 2007 López signed for Villarreal CF for a reported fee of €6 million,[4] and started the season as second-choice to Uruguayan Sebastián Viera but, after a string of fine performances (he played in the domestic and UEFA Cups), he was awarded first-team action, finishing the season with 20 appearances.In 2008–09 López was everpresent, helping Villarreal finish fifth in the league as he did not miss one minute of action. More of the same in the following season, but the team could only rank seventh, thus out of the European zone; however, as fifth-placed RCD Mallorca was expelled from European competition due to bankruptcy, the Valencian team took its place in the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Europa League.
López featured in all but one league games in 2011–12, being ejected against Sevilla FC in a 2–2 home draw, in the second game of the season.[5] The Yellow Submarine would eventually be relegated after a twelve-year stay, with the player conceding 50 goals in his appearances.
Sevilla / Return to Real Madrid
On 22 May 2012, López signed with Sevilla for five years, for a reported fee of €3.5 million.[6] He split first-choice status with Andrés Palop during his spell.On 25 January 2013, López returned to Real Madrid after starter Casillas suffered a hand injury, signing for €3.5 million until June 2017.[7] Shortly upon arriving, he stated he had always dreamed of coming back to the club.[8]
López played his first game in his second spell on 30 January 2013, in a 1–1 home draw against FC Barcelona for the season's Spanish Cup semifinals.[9]
International career
López was first called-up by Spain, as the third goalkeeper, for two 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers – both against Turkey, in late March/early April 2009. He was named by national side boss Vicente del Bosque for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa, in the same predicament (behind Casillas and Pepe Reina), and did not play any matches there.On 12 August 2009, in a 3–2 friendly win in Macedonia, López made his national team debut, playing the last 30 minutes in the place of Reina and keeping a clean sheet.
