Víctor Machín Pérez (born 2 November 1989), known as Vitolo, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Sevilla FC. Despite being right-footed, he plays mainly as a left winger, and can also operate as a forward.

He began his career with Las Palmas before joining Sevilla in 2013, where he won the Europa League three times.

Club career

Las Palmas

Vitolo was born in Las Palmas. He came through the youth ranks at hometown club UD Las Palmas, playing for two years with the B-team before making the breakthrough in the 2010–11 season, with the Canary Islands side in the second division; he made his debut on 28 August 2010, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–2 home win against Gimnàstic de Tarragona, and scored his first goal for the club in a 4–1 defeat of AD Alcorcón on 11 September, also at home.[1]

On 27 November 2010, in another home fixture, against Rayo Vallecano, Vitolo sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his right knee that ruled him out for the rest of the campaign.[2]

Sevilla

Vitolo joined Sevilla FC on 28 June 2013, after agreeing to a four-year contract.[3] He made his debut in La Liga on 18 August by featuring the full 90 minutes in a 1–3 home loss to Atlético Madrid,[4] and scored his first goal in the competition on 10 November, contributing to a 3–1 success at RCD Espanyol.[5]

In his first season in Andalusia, Vitolo played 45 games all competitions comprised and scored eight times – this included four in 16 matches in the club's victorious run in the UEFA Europa League.[6] On 12 March 2015 he scored the fastest-ever goal in the continental competition, finding the net after just 13 seconds to help to a 3–1 away win against fellow Spaniards Villarreal CF;[7] with three league goals in March – half of his total for the season up to then – he was voted La Liga Player of the Month.[8]

On 27 May 2015, Vitolo assisted Carlos Bacca's winning goal as Sevilla retained their Europa League crown with a 3–2 victory against FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in Warsaw.[9]

International career

On 20 March 2015, former Spanish under-19 international Vitolo was called up for the first time to the senior squad by coach Vicente del Bosque, ahead of a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Ukraine.[10] He did not take part in the match, a 1–0 victory at his club ground, the Estadio Ramon Sánchez Pizjuán,[11] but made his debut in the following fixture, a 0–2 friendly loss at the Amsterdam Arena to the Netherlands on the 31st, coming on as a substitute for Pedro at half time.[12]
