Bruna Vilamala Costa (; born 4 June 2002) is a Spanish professional footballer from Catalonia who plays as a striker for Liga F club FC Barcelona.[1]
Born in the town of Borgonyà[2] in the municipality of Sant Vicenç de Torelló, Vilamala joined the grassroots FC Barcelona when she was only eleven years old.[3]
In October 2018, Vilamala tore her ACL in a match against AEM Lleida.[4]
She debuted with the Barça first team on 1 February 2020 against Sevilla at only 17 years of age, with Vilamala being the fourth youngest player to wear the shirt of the culés.[5] During the 2020–21 season, she was a regular on the payrolls of the Barça first team despite the fact that she still had a filial role.[3] On 18 October 2020, she scored her first goal in the Primera División in the 6-0 win against Sporting de Huelva. On 10 May 2021, she scored against Granadilla, which would be decisive in the 1-0 victory, with which they won the Liga Iberdrola title. In that season, Barcelona would end the best campaign in its history by winning the Liga, Copa de la Reina and Champions League titles. For her part, Vilamala would close the season with 12 goals converted in the Liga in just 15 games, being the sixth highest scorer of the culé campaign and the second with the best scoring average.
On 25 October 2021, Vilamala suffered the second ACL tear of her career during a friendly with Spain's under-23 national football team.[6] She returned to playing on 20 November 2022 in a Liga F match against Deportivo Alavés,[7] experiencing some setbacks before making more regular appearances in the 2023–24 season and slowly growing back to full fitness.[8]
In 2018, Vilamala was called up to the Spanish U-17 team to take part in the women's U-17 European Championship, which was held in Lithuania.[9]
Vilamala made her senior Spain debut on her 22nd birthday, during a UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying match against Denmark on 4 June 2024. Spain, ranked number one, were unusually trailing when Vilamala was substituted on; she scored their first goal (which she credited to Irene Paredes) as Spain mounted a 3–2 comeback victory to gain automatic qualification for Euro 2025.[10]
