David Villa Sánchez (Spanish pronunciation: [daˈβið ˈβiʎa]; born 3 December 1981), nicknamed El Guaje (The Kid in Asturian),[3] is a Spanish footballer who currently plays as a striker for FC Barcelona[4][5] and the Spanish national football team.
Despite sustaining a serious injury as a child, he started his professional career with Sporting de Gijón and made his debut in 2000 in Spain's Segunda División. He moved to Real Zaragoza after two seasons, after a total of 38 goals and 80 appearances for Gijón. He made his La Liga debut at Zaragoza and scored 31 goals in 73 appearances in the next two seasons, winning the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España, his first senior honours. He joined Valencia CF in 2005 for a transfer fee of €12 million. He was the second highest scorer in the 2005--06 season with 25 goals, and was part of the Valencia team that won the Copa del Rey for a seventh time in the 2007--08 season. In 2010 he moved to Barcelona for €40 million.
Villa made his international debut in 2005 against San Marino. He has since participated in three major tournaments, while he was an integral member of the Spain teams that won Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup. He scored three goals at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, was top scorer at Euro 2008 with four goals and earned Silver Boot (though he was tied for the most goals scored in the tournament) at the 2010 World Cup with five goals. He has scored more World Cup goals than any other player in Spain's history and currently stands just one goal behind Raúl González in Spain's all-time top scorers' list.[6] His goals per game ratio at World Cup matches is higher than the competition's all-time top scorer Ronaldo, while the goals per game ratio he has achieved for the national team has not been matched by any Spaniard since Alfredo Di Stefano, 50 years ago.[6][7] In 2009 he scored more goals than any other footballer, 43 goals in 54 games across all competitions for Spain and Valencia.[6][8] The IFFHS listed him 4th in the "World's Top Goal Scorer 2009" rankings,[9] while in 2010, he came 1st in their "2010's World Top Goalscorer at International Level" rankings.[10] Villa has two children with his wife Patricia and often attends charity events supported by sports personalities.

In 2003 Villa married his childhood sweetheart Patricia González (who had also been a footballer in her teenage years).[13] On 7 December 2005, their first child was born, a girl who they named Zaida.[17] Her name is engraved on his personalised Adidas F50's,[13] while one boot bears the Spanish flag, the other has the Asturian flag.[121] On 18 August 2009, his second daughter Olaya was born, named after the wife of Fernando Torres, who is a close friend of Patricia.[122] His footballing idols are Luis Enrique and Quini.[83]
Villa frequently attends charity events.[123] On 15 December 2008, alongside (at the time) Valencia team-mates David Silva, Rubén Baraja, Nikola Žigić and Hedwiges Maduro, Villa visited the children's ward of the Clinical Hospital of Valencia to wish the patients a "Merry Christmas"[124] while on Christmas Eve he, alongside Formula One racing driver Fernando Alonso, footballers Santi Cazorla and Juan Manuel Mata and road bicycle racer Samuel Sánchez, attended a charity event in Oviedo to raise money for the "Oviedo Economic Kitchen Association".[123] He is also actively involved with the campaigns of the UNICEF charity.[125]
Beginning in July 2008, a "David Villa Camp" is held annually, where children receive training from professional footballers. Villa also participates in a training session with the children.[126]
Villa featured on the Spanish box art for video game FIFA 07.[127] More recently, he co-starred in an advertisement for the Adidas F50 adiZero, alongside Barcelona team mate Lionel Messi and French legend Zinedine Zidane.[128] It was with this advertising campaign that Villa earned the nickname "The Blaze".[129]
