Luca Villa, a Rojiblanco Promise
Atlético de Madrid’s youth academy continues to bring joy, and this time the protagonist is Luca Villa, son of the legendary David ‘Guaje’ Villa. At just twelve years old, Luca has dazzled at the recent Crevillent Cup, a renowned tournament that brings together young football talents.
The young forward, who wears the number two and shares his father’s passion for scoring goals, has demonstrated his quality and confidence on the pitch. With a prodigious left foot and a style reminiscent of his father and Fernando Torres, Luca doesn’t hide and dreams of surpassing his parent’s achievements.
His performances have raised expectations, especially after his double against Valencia, where he confidently stated: ‘I’m going to be better than my father’. David Villa’s pride is evident.
Aware of the pressure involved in being the son of a legend, the ‘Guaje’ admits to getting ‘very nervous’ watching his son play. Luca, supported by his family, continues to enjoy football and demonstrate that talent runs through his veins. His future is promising, and the Rojiblanco fans eagerly await to see him grow and succeed at the Metropolitano.
