Adrian Lopez Young Soccer PlaysAdrián López Álvarez, simply Adrián born 8 January 1988 in Teverga, Asturias, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Deportivo de La Coruña as a forward. Adrián's finest moment of the 2006–07 season arrived when, on 31 March 2007, he entered Deportivo’s league match in the Camp Nou in the 61st minute. Although FC Barcelona won it 2–1, he managed to score with a clever touch. After receiving few first team opportunities during 2007–08, Adrián was loaned to second division strugglers of Deportivo Alavés, in March 2008. After helping the Basque team avoid relegation with three league goals, he returned to A Coruña to be loaned again, on 14 August, now to promoted Málaga CF, on a season-long deal. Adrián continued to appear regularly for Deportivo in the 2010–11 campaign, again as a starter. In the season's Copa del Rey, the Galicians faced Córdoba CF in the round of 16: after a 1–1 draw in Andalusia, he scored the 1–1 in the 90th minute of the second leg, taking the match to extra time, where he netted two more (3–1 win) to secure a spot in the quarterfinals. He finished the season as the team's top scorer at eight in 36 games, but Deportivo returned to the second division after 20 years.
