Template:Spanish name Pedro López Muñoz (born 1 November 1983) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Levante UD as a right back.

Football career

Born in Torrent, Valencian Community, López was a product of Valencia CF's youth system. He never made it past the B-team, and would go on to make his La Liga debuts for Racing de Santander during the 2004–05 season.

In the 2005 summer, López joined Real Valladolid, playing 36 matches for a side that achieved top flight promotion two years later.[1] He scored his first goal for the club the following campaign, a brilliant long-range strike during the 1–1 home draw against Real Madrid on 23 September 2007.[2]

On 14 December 2008, firmly established as first-choice right-back, López netted from his half in a 3–0 home win over Deportivo de La Coruña.[3] He continued to start regularly in the following seasons, suffering top division relegation in 2009–10.

Wishing to return to the top flight, López joined Levante UD of his native region on 19 July 2011, on a three-year contract.[4] The team finished a best-ever sixth in his debut season, subsequently qualifying for the UEFA Europa League in which he played eight matches to help it reach the quarter-finals. On 31 March 2014, he scored his first goal for the club, to confirm a 2–0 win at Granada CF.[5]
