Victor Parada

The red card came in the twelfth minute. Playing on loan at Mirandés against Huesca on 13 January 2025, Víctor Parada was sent off, and his coach, Alessio Lisci, said afterwards that the decision had conditioned the outcome. It was a rare interruption in a season where the left-back started almost every week: 38 appearances in the Segunda División.

He was at Atlético Madrid as a boy, then Rayo Vallecano, before an unusual step for a teenager from Madrid — the academy at Red Bull Salzburg, with a brief loan to Liefering in early 2019. Two years later he was back in Spain, at Deportivo Alavés, and the route to the first team ran through the lower divisions: 34 matches and two goals at San Ignacio in the Tercera División RFEF, then 33 at Real Unión in the Primera RFEF.

His debut for Alavés came in the Copa del Rey in December 2023, a 1–0 win over Terrassa; the La Liga debut arrived a month later against Sevilla. The season that made him was 2025–26 — 33 appearances, 2,291 minutes, most of them spent holding a defence together through a relegation fight. Alavés extended his contract to 2029 in August 2025.

Spartak Moscow paid €6 million for him on 14 July 2026, with a deal running to the summer of 2030 — above the €4–5 million that had been reported while the transfer was being discussed.
