Javier Puado Díaz (born 25 May 1998) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for La Liga club Espanyol. Mainly a right winger, he can also be deployed as a forward.
Club career
[edit]Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Puado joined RCD Espanyol's youth academy in 2014, from UE Cornellà.[3] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 20 August 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 Segunda División B away draw against UE Llagostera.[4]
On 28 August 2016, in a 0–1 home loss against Valencia CF Mestalla, Puado suffered a knee injury which kept him sidelined for eight months.[5][6] He returned to action the following 14 May, playing the last 24 minutes and scoring his team's first goal in a 3–2 defeat to CE Sabadell FC, with his side already relegated.[7]
Puado renewed his contract on 21 June 2017, until 2022.[8] The following 28 May, after scoring 12 times and being a key unit in the B side's return to the third tier, he was promoted to the main squad in La Liga.[9]
On 18 August 2018, Puado made his first-team debut by replacing Pablo Piatti in a 1–1 draw at RC Celta de Vigo.[10] He scored his first professional goal on 1 November, the equaliser in a 2–1 away loss against Cádiz CF in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[11]
Puado was loaned to Segunda División club Real Zaragoza on 16 November 2019, as a cover for the injured Raphael Dwamena.[12][13] Having returned to the RCDE Stadium, he scored 12 goals during the 2020–21 campaign – second best in the squad, only behind Raúl de Tomás' 23 – as Espanyol returned to the top flight after one year out, as champions.[14][15]
On 23 June 2024, Puado scored a brace in a 2–0 win over Real Oviedo in the second leg of the promotion play-offs finals, securing return to the main division 2–1 on aggregate.[16]
International career
[edit]On 6 September 2019, Puado earned his first cap for the Spain under-21 team, featuring the first half of a 1–0 victory in Kazakhstan for the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[17] Selected by Luis de la Fuente for the finals, he opened a 3–0 win over Slovenia in the group phase,[18] then added a brace in the 2–1 extra time quarter-final defeat of Croatia.[19]
Puado made his debut for the non-FIFA Catalonia national team on 25 March 2019, against Venezuela at the Estadi Montilivi in Girona; he came on as a substitute and scored a late winner in a 2–1 win.[20] He played his first match with the Spanish senior side on 8 June 2021, scoring in a 4–0 friendly victory over Lithuania in Leganés in which ten of the starters were making their first appearance.[21]
Personal life
[edit]Puado's father, Francisco, was also a footballer and a forward. He spent the vast majority of his career in the Spanish lower leagues, having a brief spell in the main division with CA Osasuna.[22][3]
