Biography

César Azpilicueta Tanco (Spanish pronunciation: [aθpiliˈkweta], born 28 August 1989) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a right-back or centre-back.

A youth product of Osasuna, Azpilicueta spent three seasons in La Liga before switching to Marseille. In the summer of 2012, he moved to Chelsea, winning the Europa League in his first season and a domestic double two years later. He made over 500 appearances for the club and was sixth on their list of all-time appearances when he departed in 2023, with no other non-English person having played more times for them. Described as a Stamford Bridge 'legend', he captained Chelsea to 2018–19 UEFA Europa League, 2020–21 UEFA Champions League and 2021 FIFA Club World Cup victories.

Azpilicueta earned 55 caps for Spain at youth level in all age groups, and represented the under-21s in two European Championships, winning the 2011 edition. He made his first appearance with the senior team in 2013 and was selected for 2014, 2018 and 2022 editions of the FIFA World Cup, as well as UEFA Euro 2016 and UEFA Euro 2020.
