Abel Ruiz Ortega (Spanish pronunciation: [aˈβel ˈrwiθ]; born 28 January 2000) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for FC Barcelona B.

Club career

Born in Almussafes, Valencian Community, Ruiz joined FC Barcelona's youth setup in 2012, from Valencia CF.[2] On 21 November 2016, he renewed his contract with the club.[3]

On 9 April 2017, while still a junior, Ruiz made his senior debut with the reserves, coming on as a late substitute for Jesús Alfaro in a 2–0 Segunda División B away win against CF Badalona; he also became the first player born in the 2000s to make an appearance for the club's senior ranks.[4] He made his professional team debut on 28 August, replacing David Concha in an 0–3 home loss against CD Tenerife for the Segunda División championship.[5]

Ruiz scored his first professional goal on 1 September 2017, in a 2–2 draw against Granada CF.[6]

Abel Ruiz had his debut with FC Barcelona's first team in the Supercopa de Catalunya final on 7 March 2018, against RCD Espanyol, by scoring the last shot of the penalty shoot-out, which allowed to win the trophy.[7]

Ruiz made his La Liga debut on 12 May 2019 in a 2–0 win against Getafe CF, coming on as a substitute for Philippe Coutinho.

International career

Ruiz made his debut for the Spain under-17 team on 25 October 2015, starting and scoring the first in a 2–0 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualification win against Andorra.[8] He was also named in the list for the finals in Azerbaijan,[9] despite being one year younger than his teammates.

Ruiz finished the competition with four goals, being awarded the Silver Boot ; he was also included in the tournament's best eleven.[10] During the 2017 edition in Croatia, he captained the side as Spain achieved his ninth title.[11]

On 22 September 2017, Ruiz was included in Santiago Denia's squad ahead of the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup,[12] and scored two braces in the tournament, scoring two goals in a 4–0 win against Niger on 10 October, and two more in a 3–1 semi-finals win against Mali on 25 October.[13]
