Football career

Barcelona

Nolito arrived at FC Barcelona at already 22, having appeared with Écija Balompié in his native Andalusia in two third division seasons. With the Catalans, in the same level, he scored 16 league goals in two seasons combined - 12 in the second, as the club returned to division two after an 11-year absence.

On 3rd October 2010, aged 23, Nolito made his La Liga debut for Barcelona, replacing Pedro Rodríguez in a 1–1 home draw against RCD Mallorca;[1] on November 10th, he opened the scoring in a 5–1 home win against AD Ceuta (7–1 on aggregate), for the season's Spanish Cup.[2]

Nolito scored three times for Barcelona B on 7th March 2011, in a 4–1 away win against CD Tenerife.[3] As the team finished in third position - being however ineligible for promotion - he finished second in goals scored in the squad with 13, only trailing Jonathan Soriano who was crowned the competition's top scorer.

Benfica

In late May 2011, Nolito rejected Barcelona's offer of a professional contract and signed a five-year deal with S.L. Benfica, effective as of 1st July.[4] On the 27th, he scored on his official debut, in a 2–0 home win against Trabzonspor for the season's UEFA Champions League.[5] He also netted in the second leg, a 1–1 draw.[6]

On 20 August 2011, Nolito scored once in a 3–1 home win against C.D. Feirense, the fifth consecutive in as many official matches for Benfica, equalizing Eusébio's record.[7]
