He started playing with Osasuna in 2005, going on to appear in 144 official games over the course of five La Liga seasons. [4] In 2011 he signed with Malaga and, two years later, joined Arsenal , winning three FA Cup trophies with the latter club while taking part in 251 matches in all competitions. [5] He ended his career in 2022 with Real Sociedad , winning the 2019?20 Copa del Rey .

A full international from 2009 to 2018, Monreal represented Spain at the 2013 Confederations Cup and the 2018 World Cup .

Club career [ edit ]

Osasuna [ edit ]

Monreal in action for Osasuna in 2010

Born in Pamplona , Monreal was a product of CA Osasuna 's youth system and made his official debut for his hometown club in an away game against Valencia CF on 22 October 2006, a 1?0 La Liga loss. [6] He finished his first season with ten league appearances, adding two in that campaign 's UEFA Champions League ; after the Navarrese 's relegation to the UEFA Cup , he appeared in four matches as the team reached the last four, being eliminated by fellow league side Sevilla FC .

Monreal became first-choice in 2007?08 , retaining that status in the subsequent seasons, with another youth product, Cesar Azpilicueta , being the undisputed starter in the other defensive wing. [7]

Malaga [ edit ]

On 10 June 2011, Monreal signed a five-year contract with Malaga CF on a € 6 million transfer fee. [8] In his first season he initially battled for first-choice status with Eliseu , but ended up only missing seven games as the club finished fourth and qualified for the Champions League for the first time. [9]

Monreal scored his only goal for the Andalusians on 27 January 2013, in a 3?2 away win over RCD Mallorca . [10]

Arsenal [ edit ]

On 31 January 2013, Monreal joined English side Arsenal on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee, believed by Sky Sports to be around ￡ 8.5 million. [11] [12] He was given the number 17 shirt, [13] and made his Premier League debut against Stoke City two days later in a 1?0 home win. [14] [15]

On 23 February 2013, Monreal provided the assist for countryman Santi Cazorla to score the winner in a 2?1 victory over Aston Villa . [16] He scored his first goal for the Gunners on 16 March, opening a 2?0 win at Swansea City . [17]

Monreal returned from injury [18] on 21 August 2013 to feature in Arsenal's 3?0 win at Fenerbahce SK in the Champions League group stage play-off , playing the last three minutes in the place of Theo Walcott . [19] On 26 September, he scored the deciding penalty in a shootout against West Bromwich Albion to send his team into the fourth round of the League Cup . [20]

Upon the arrival of Alexis Sanchez in the 2014 off-season, Monreal took the vacant number 18 previously worn by Sebastien Squillaci . On 23 August, he assisted Olivier Giroud 's late equaliser in a 2?2 draw against Everton . [21] Additionally, an injury crisis in the squad saw him being deployed in an unfamiliar central defender role in a string of games, after Laurent Koscielny was put out of action due to an Achilles tendon injury. [22]

On 9 March 2015, Monreal scored the opening goal in a 2?1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford that put Arsenal through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup . [23] He played the full 90 minutes in the decisive match , a 4?0 defeat of Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium . [24]

On 19 January 2016, Monreal signed a new long-term contract. [25] On 23 April 2017, he scored the vital equaliser as his team came from behind to defeat Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. [26]

On 6 November 2017, after good performances on the left side of a three-man defence, [27] Monreal won the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Month award for October of that year. [28] The following 20 January, he netted once and made two assists before retiring injured 30 minutes into an eventual 4?1 home win against Crystal Palace . [29]

Real Sociedad [ edit ]

Monreal returned to Spain on 31 August 2019, with the 33-year-old joining Real Sociedad on a two-year contract. [30] He scored on his competitive debut two weeks later, converting an easy tap-in at the hour mark of an eventual 2?0 victory over Atletico Madrid at Anoeta Stadium . [31]

Monreal missed the entire 2021?22 season , due to a knee injury. [32] On 23 May 2022, the club announced his departure. [33]

On 16 August 2022, Monreal announced his retirement at 36. [34]

International career [ edit ]

In 2007, Monreal earned his first call for the Spain under-21 team . He started all their matches in the 2009 UEFA European Championship , in an eventual group stage exit.

On 6 August 2009, Monreal was called up to the senior side for the first time, for an exhibition game with Macedonia . [35] He played the last 15 minutes for Joan Capdevila in a 3?2 away win; [36] on 7 September 2010, in the nation's second game after they won the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa , he played the entire 1?4 friendly loss to Argentina . [37]

Monreal was a member of Spain's squad which reached the final of the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil, although he was second-choice left-back behind FC Barcelona 's Jordi Alba . He started in the last two group games, beginning with a 10?0 thrashing of Tahiti at the Maracana where he set up a David Villa goal. [38]

Monreal scored his first goal for Spain on 12 November 2016, contributing to a 4?0 defeat of Macedonia for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in Granada . [39] He was then selected by manager Julen Lopetegui for the finals in Russia. [40]

Style of play [ edit ]

Upon signing with Arsenal in 2013, the club's manager Arsene Wenger described Monreal as "a strong left-sided defender with good experience at both club and international level. He is a technically gifted player, a good crosser in the final third and strong in the air." [41] Although he usually played as a defensive?minded left-back in a four-man back-line, he was also capable of playing as a centre-back or even as a left-sided defender in a back three. [42] [43]
