Alberto Bueno Calvo (born 20 March 1988) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CD Leganés on loan from Portuguese club FC Porto. He operates mainly as a forward, but can also appear as a left winger.
After starting out at Real Madrid, he went on to represent mainly Valladolid and Rayo Vallecano, amassing La Liga totals of 142 games and 35 goals over the course of six seasons.
Bueno earned 28 caps for Spain at youth level all categories comprised, scoring 19 goals.
Born in Madrid, Bueno was a product of Real Madrid's youth system, and he started playing for the Juvenil team, scoring 37 goals in 37 matches. The following season he progressed to Real Madrid Castilla, playing 31 games in the second division.
In August 2007, Real Madrid signed Bueno on a professional contract with the first team. He was called up to the pre-season training under coach Bernd Schuster, teaming up in a friendly with FC Lokomotiv Moscow where he was substituted at half-time by another cantera player, Javier Balboa.
On 11 November 2008, due to many injuries to the main squad, Bueno was given his official debut, in a Copa del Rey home contest against Real Unión (third level): within minutes of his entry, 15 minutes into the second half, he scored in a 4–3 final win, but Real Madrid suffered a shock exit from the competition (6–6 aggregate). Eleven days later he made his La Liga debut, replacing Raúl late into a 1–0 home success over Recreativo de Huelva.
