Diego López and Javi Guerra grow with Valencia CF | OneFootball

Valencia CF players, Diego López and Javi Guerra, continue their progression with Valencia CF's first team after their debut in LALIGA in the 2022-2023 season. Both youngsters reached 50 official matches in LALIGA EA SPORTS against Villarreal CF.

The striker from Turón arrived at Ciutat Esportiva in 2021 to join VCF Mestalla. His speed and eye for goal meant that, on 29 August 2022, he made his debut with the first team in LALIGA in the match against Atlético de Madrid. Diego made a decisive contribution in the final stretch of the campaign, taking advantage of those playing opportunities in which he scored goals against Real Madrid CF, RCD Espanyol and Real Betis as well as providing an assist in the victory against RC Celta.

His huge breakthrough, performance and consolidation in the elite has also caught the attention of the Spanish U-21 National Team, with which he has been important for Santi Denia. Recently, the Asturian winger was champion of the Olympic Games in Paris 2024.

The midfielder from Gilet joined the VCF Academy in 2019, where he trained and progressed until arriving at VCF Mestalla. In January 2022, he debuted with the first team against CD Atlético Baleares in the knockout round of the Copa del Rey. His debut in LALIGA came on the 29th matchday of the 22-23 season in the match between Valencia CF and Sevilla FC at Camp de Mestalla. From that moment on, his quality made him consolidate his place in the first team with relevant performances such as the one on matchday 31 of that same season in which he scored the winning goal against Real Valladolid.

Esta pasada campaña 23-24 fue nominado como mejor jugador sub-23 de LALIGA EA Sports, uno de los máximos goleadores del equipo durante la temporada y uno de los que más minutos acumuló a lo largo de la misma. Igualmente, a nivel internacional, Guerra ha sido uno de los futbolistas habituales en las convocatorias con la Selección Española sub-21, desde su debut en el mes de septiembre de 2023.
