Martín Montoya Torralbo (born 14 April 1991) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right back for Valencia CF.
He started playing with Barcelona, going on to appear in 67 competitive games during five La Liga seasons and win seven major titles.
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 9. 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 in the last five minutes of a 3–0 away win against RCD Mallorca.
Towards the end of March 2011, rumours surfaced linking Montoya with Valencia CF, with the Che willing to pay the €3 million buy-out clause of the player. 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.
