Club career

Born in Gavà, Barcelona, Catalonia, Montoya started playing football for hometown club CF Gavà, moving to FC Barcelona's youth system, La Masia, at the age of eight. After progressing through its ranks, he was promoted to the B-team in 2009.

In the 2009–10 season, Montoya contributed with 22 games as the Luis Enrique-led side returned to the second division after an 11-year absence. On 26 February 2011 he made his debut for the main squad, coming on as a substitute for Adriano Correia in the last five minutes of a 3–0 away win against RCD Mallorca.[1]

Towards the end of March 2011 rumors surfaced linking Montoya with Valencia CF, with the Che willing to pay the €3 million buy-out clause of the player.[2][3] On 30 April he made his first start for Barcelona in a 1–2 La Liga loss at Real Sociedad, suffering a broken clavicle in the early minutes of the match and being sidelined for the rest of the campaign.[4]

Montoya again spent the vast majority of 2011–12 with the reserves. His first start for the first team occurred on 12 January 2012, in a 2–1 away triumph against CA Osasuna for the season's Copa del Rey (6–1 on aggregate).[5] Due to injury to Dani Alves he played in the final of the domestic cup, appearing the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 win over Athletic Bilbao.[6]

On 1 June 2013 Montoya scored his first goal as a professional, netting the third in a 4–1 home win against Málaga CF.[7] He finished the campaign with 24 appearances all competitions comprised, totalling 1,678 minutes of action.

International career

In 2011, Montoya earned his first cap with the Spanish under-21 team. He was picked by manager Luis Milla to the squad that competed in that year's UEFA European Championship, and started in all the games as the national side won the tournament in Denmark.[8]

On 25 August 2011 Montoya was selected for the first time to the full side by coach Vicente del Bosque, for games against Chile and Liechtenstein.[9]
