Club career



Celta


Born in Mos, Pontevedra, Galicia, Méndez joined RC Celta de Vigo's youth setup in 2012, from Villarreal CF.[2] On 7 September 2014, he made his senior debut with the reserves, starting in a 1–0 Segunda División B away win against Real Murcia.[3]

Méndez scored his first senior goal on 4 September 2016, netting his team's second in a 3–1 victory at CD Palencia.[4] The following 21 August, after spending the whole preseason with the main squad, he renewed his contract until 2021.[5]

On 21 September 2017, Méndez made his professional – and La Liga – debut, starting in the 1–1 home draw against Getafe CF.[6] He scored his first goal in the competition on 31 March 2018, equalising a 1–1 away draw with Athletic Bilbao.[7]

On 30 July 2020, Méndez extended his contract until 2024.[8] The ensuing season was his most prolific with nine goals,[9] including both in a win over Deportivo Alavés at Balaídos on 20 December.[10]


Real Sociedad


On 6 July 2022, Real Sociedad reached an agreement with Celta for the transfer of Méndez, with the player signing a contract until 2028.[11] On his European debut on 8 September, he scored the only goal to help defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League, through a penalty.[12]


International career


After playing for Spain at under-17, under-18 and under-21 levels, Méndez was first called by the full side on 8 November 2018 for matches against Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[13] He made his debut in the latter fixture, coming on as a 59th-minute substitute for Suso in the 1–0 friendly win in Las Palmas and scoring the only goal.[14]


Personal life


Méndez's father, Modesto (known as Pupi), was also a footballer. A forward, he appeared in one Segunda División match with Deportivo de La Coruña.[15][16]
