Íñigo López Montaña (born 23 July 1982 in Logroño) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Granada CF in La Liga, as a central defender.

Club career

López began his career with Atlético Madrid B in Segunda División B in 2004, going on to spend six seasons in the category, his next club being Madrid neighbours UD San Sebastián de los Reyes. In 2007, he signed for another team in the community, AD Alcorcón, appearing in 35 league games his first season (five goals), but only five in the following.

In 2009–10, López was again a regular starter for Alcorcón, and scored a career-best seven goals as the club promoted to Segunda División for the first time ever. He also took part in the memorable Alcorconazo in the season's Copa del Rey round of 32, in which Alcorcón secured the most famous victory in its history after defeating Real Madrid 4–0 at home (4–1 on aggregate).

In the summer of 2010, López joined Granada CF in the second division, and achieved a second consecutive promotion (also the second in a row for the Andalusians) while contributing with four goals.

López's older brother, Jorge, is also a footballer. A midfielder, he won one national championship with Valencia CF, and also appeared in several top flight seasons for Villarreal CF and Real Zaragoza.
