Pau Torres, born on January 16, 1997, in Villarreal, Spain, has established himself as one of football’s top defenders. Standing at 1.92 meters (6 feet 3 inches), his presence on the pitch is both commanding and composed.
Torres began his journey with Villarreal CF, the club of his hometown, progressing through its youth system. His breakthrough season came in 2019-2020, when he became a regular starter in La Liga. In the 2020-2021 season, Torres played a crucial role in Villarreal’s historic UEFA Europa League triumph, defeating Manchester United in a nail-biting final.
In July 2023, Torres made headlines with a €45 million transfer to Aston Villa in the English Premier League. Adapting quickly to the league’s pace and physicality, he has since become a cornerstone of Villa’s defense. As of the 2024-2025 season, he has made 24 appearances across all competitions, including 18 in the Premier League and six in the UEFA Champions League. His ability to anticipate plays and distribute the ball has earned him praise, along with an assist in the Champions League.
Internationally, Torres debuted for the Spanish national team in 2019. With 24 caps and one goal, he has been a reliable figure in Spain’s defensive line, participating in major tournaments such as the UEFA Euro and FIFA World Cup.
