Miguel Ángel "Migue" Leal Díaz (born 1 February 1997) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back.
Born in Villarreal, Valencian Community, Leal joined Villarreal CF's youth setup at the age of five.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 9 May 2015, aged 18, by playing the last 16 minutes of a 1–4 Tercera División home loss against Atlético Levante UD.[2]
On 14 August 2018, after establishing himself as a regular starter for the C's, Leal moved to Segunda División B side Real Murcia on a one-year loan.[3] He moved back to his parent club the following 24 January, after appearing rarely, and was assigned to the reserves also in the third division.[4]
Leal made his first team debut on 18 December 2019, starting in a 5–0 away routing of Comillas CF for the season's Copa del Rey.[5] On 19 September of the following year, he moved to FC Groningen on loan for one year.[6]
Leal made his Eredivisie debut on 25 September 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Bart van Hintum in a 1–3 loss at FC Twente.[7] Back to the Yellow Submarine in July 2021, he was again assigned to the B-team, being a regular starter during the 2021–22 Primera División RFEF as the side achieved promotion to Segunda División.
Leal scored his first professional goal on 3 September 2022, netting the B's second in a 3–0 home win over CD Mirandés. The following 14 June, he permanently left Villarreal after two decades with the club,[8] and moved to FC Andorra also in the second division a day later.[9]
