Template:Spanish name Rubén Pardo Gutiérrez (born 22 October 1992) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Sociedad as a central midfielder.
He spent his entire career at Real Sociedad, making over 150 official appearances.
Pardo earned 31 caps for Spain at youth level, winning the 2011 European Under-19 championship.
Club career
Pardo was born in Logroño, La Rioja. He made his senior debuts in the 2009–10 season, appearing for Real Sociedad's reserves in Tercera División and helping the team achieve promotion.
On 29 October 2011, Pardo made his debut for the first team, coming on as a substitute for Markel Bergara in the last minutes of a 0–1 La Liga home defeat against Real Madrid.[1] He scored his first goal for the Txuriurdin on 13 February of the following year in a 2–0 success over Sevilla FC also at Anoeta Stadium,[2] and finished the campaign with 17 appearances all competitions comprised.
In 2013–14, Pardo missed only three games and contributed three goals, including one to conclude a 2–0 win over Athletic Bilbao in the Basque derby on 5 January 2014.[3] His form led to speculation of a transfer to Manchester United, which he played down;[4] on 9 May, he renewed his contract with Real Sociedad until 2018.[5]
International career
Pardo was part of Spain's squad in the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, although he only played in one game, as a substitute against France. He was selected by the under-18 team for the unofficial 2010 Copa del Atlántico,[6] which his country won.[7]
Pardo featured in every match at the 2011 European Under-19 Championship, helping the national side conquer the tournament in Romania.[8]
