Juan Francisco Torres Belén (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxwamfɾan ˈtorez βeˈlen]; born 9 January 1985), known as Juanfran, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Atlético Madrid as a right back.
After starting out at Real Madrid, he went on to make a name for himself in La Liga with Osasuna and Atlético Madrid, signing for the latter in 2011 and going on to win five major titles, including the 2014 national championship.
A Spanish international since 2012, Juanfran was part of the squad that won that year's European Championship, and also represented the nation at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016.
Born in Crevillent, Alicante, Valencian Community, Juanfran was a product of Real Madrid's youth academy. He had his first main squad opportunity on 24 January 2004, playing 15 minutes in a 2–1 home win against Villarreal CF after solid performances with the B-team. Over the course of that and the following seasons, he would play on a further five La Liga matches.
Juanfran was loaned out to RCD Espanyol for 2005–06 and, although the Catalan side barely avoided relegation, he featured heavily throughout the campaign, scoring on 22 March 2006 in a 1–1 draw at Athletic Bilbao. He started his career as a winger.
