Football career

Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Portillo emerged through local Málaga CF's youth ranks, first appearing with the first team in the 2009 pre-season and being considered Man of the match in the Peace Cup 1–0 win against Aston Villa on 25 July.[1]

He made his La Liga debut on 24 January 2010, replacing injured Patrick Mtiliga in a 0–2 defeat at Real Madrid in the 74th minute of the game.[2] On 10 August he made a contract extension with the club, running until June 2013.[3]

After the 2011 summer signing of Joaquín, Portillo was further demoted down in Málaga's pecking order, not making the 18-men squad in most of the matches. His first league appearance of the season only came on 9 April 2012, as he played the last eight minutes in a 3−0 home win over Racing de Santander.[4]

On 15 September 2012 Portillo scored his first goal as a professional, with a beautiful volley in a 3−1 home win against Levante UD.[5] He appeared in 38 competitive games during the campaign, including eight in the side's first-ever participation in the UEFA Champions League.

On 15 January 2015 Portillo was loaned to Segunda División's Real Betis until June,[6] with an obligatory buyout clause if the club was promoted.[7] After contributing with 21 appearances during the season, he signed a permanent three-year deal with the club.
