Club career

edit

Real Madrid

edit

Born in Badajoz, Extremadura, Pacheco played for two local clubs before joining Real Madrid in 2006, aged 14.[2] He made his senior debut on 28 August 2011 with the C team, playing in the Tercera División against CF Rayo Majadahonda.[3]

Pacheco appeared in his first game with the main squad on 20 December 2011, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Antonio Adán in a 5–1 home victory over SD Ponferradina in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[4] In 2012–13, he alternated between starting duties in the third side and the occasional callup to the second, making his debut in the Segunda División on 2 June 2013 in a 4–0 home win against AD Alcorcón.[5] He kept his position the following match – the final in the second-tier campaign – at Girona FC.[6]

Pacheco made his first start for the first team on 2 December 2014, in a 5–0 rout of UE Cornellà in the domestic cup where he featured the full 90 minutes.[7] Later that month, he was the unused third-choice goalkeeper as the Blancos won the FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco.[8]

Alavés

edit

On 7 August 2015, Pacheco signed a three-year deal with Deportivo Alavés of division two,[9] with Real Madrid having a buy-back clause.[10] He made his debut for the club on 22 August, starting in a 3–2 away win against SD Huesca.[11]

Pacheco was an undisputed starter for the Basques in his first season. He appeared in 40 league matches – missing one due to injury and being a substitute for Pau Torres in the last matchday – as they achieved promotion back to La Liga after ten years, as champions.[12][13]

Pacheco's maiden appearance in the Spanish top flight occurred on 21 August 2016, in a 1–1 away draw with Atlético Madrid.[14] He only missed two games in 38 during the campaign, and his team finished comfortably in mid-table;[15] in February he extended his contract to 2020.[16]

Pacheco was ever-present in 2017–18, receiving the highest total marks for the season from the local newspaper El Correo.[17] In December of the next season, his link was lengthened to 2023.[18]

On 13 June 2020, Pacheco was sent off for handling the ball outside the penalty area in the 19th minute of a 2–0 loss at bottom-placed RCD Espanyol.[19] He played every fixture again the following campaign, a narrow escape from relegation.[20]

During his spell at the Mendizorrotza Stadium, Pacheco totalled 253 appearances.[21]

Almería

edit

On 10 August 2022, Pacheco signed a four-year contract with UD Almería in the top tier.[22] Thinking he would start due to his experience in the competition, he was however unable to beat competition from Fernando Martínez, and asked to leave in the following transfer window.[23]

Espanyol

edit

On 31 January 2023, Pacheco joined Espanyol on a three-and-a-half-year deal.[24]
