Pau Comendador, one of the first pearls from the Real Madrid academy

Paula Comendador broke into Real Madrid as one of the greatest pearls of La Fábrica, Real Madrid's youth academy. The player won the European U19 Championship twice and made her debut as a player of the Real Madrid women’s first team in the 25/26 season, getting the first team card and a her first professional contract in the elite of the football. Before that, she had already managed to add some minutes with Real Madrid’s first team, but it wasn’t until 2025 when she established herself in the elite.

Pau Comendador made her debut in 2023 with the first team with Alberto Toril as a coach and played up to five games and scores one goal. In addition, she has been European U19 champions twice and runner-up in the U17 World Cup, a tournament where she won the Golden Boot with the Spanish National Team. With the U17 team she was also crowned European Champion.

The Real Madrid player stands out for being a fast winger, agile playing with both legs and daring. She likes to face and play one-on-one against her rivals. Characteristics that she has shown on occasions with the first team and since the started playing football at Madrid CFF, another of the important teams in Liga F, the first division in Spain.

As she said long time ago in an exclusive interview with FIFA, she was lucky enough to be seen by one of the players of the Madrid CFF first team to see her play on the football field next to her house where she played with her siblings to pass the time and when she was child. When she went to try out for the Madrid club, it was a successfull. Pau began to play more in the youth categories of Madrid CFF and was there for seven years until she received the call from Real Madrid.

Her first goal with Real Madrid’s team came on June 9, 2024, where she scored the final 1:0 that gave to the white team the victory against Athletic Club. This goal brought joy home and, as she said after the game, her family cried with joy as they lived that moment in Valdebebas, Real Madrid’s sports city.

A unique and ambitious goal despite its youth

Pau Comendador dreams on winning with all the Spanish national team. An ambitious goal for which she continues working now a days. In addition, she has the example of Linda Caicedo at Real Madrid, another of the players who stood out at a very young age and who stole the spotlight at a young age, before she signed for Real Madrid.

The two players maintain a great friendship and Linda Caicedo has come to give advice for life and football to Pau Comendador, with whom she now shares a dressing room.
