Reality sometimes surpasses fiction, and Vicky López's story could be the script of a film worthy of a Gaudí Award. Besides having talent—and the Madrid-born player certainly has it—you also need that element of luck, of being in the right place at the right time, and, almost by chance, Vicky had it. More than ten years later, she has become one of the most promising players in women's football and the current winner of the Kopa Trophy, which recognizes the best under-21 player. When she accepted the award, the Barcelona player wanted to say a few words about Alba Mellado, the woman who discovered her, whom she described as her "mentor and teacher." The former footballer explained to ARA that it was one of the most special nights for her. "I am very grateful and proud of Vicky; many people don't remember those who were there at the beginning."
