María Dolores "Lola" Gallardo Núñez (born 10 June 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Primera División club Atlético Madrid and the Spain women's national team.[1]

Club career

Lola started her career at Sevilla FC before moving to Sporting Huelva.[2] and arriving at Atlético Madrid in 2012.[3]

International career

In 2010, she was named the best player in the U-17 European Championship and the best goalkeeper in the U-17 World Cup.[4]

In June 2013 national team coach Ignacio Quereda selected Gallardo in the senior Spain squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden, one of two reserves for established first choice goalkeeper Ainhoa Tirapu.[5] Gallardo had won her first senior international cap in a 2–2 pre-tournament friendly draw with Denmark in Vejle.[6]

She was part of Spain's squad at the 2015[7] and 2019 FIFA Women's World Cups, as well as the UEFA Women's Euro 2017.

She was one of Las 15, a group of players who made themselves unavailable for international selection in September 2022 due to their dissatisfaction with head coach Jorge Vilda, and among the dozen who were not involved 11 months later as Spain won the World Cup.[8] [9]

Personal life

Gallardo is in a relationship with her former Atlético Madrid teammate Carmen Menayo.[10]
