Club career

edit

Villar was born in Aldán, Pontevedra, Galicia, and joined RC Celta de Vigo's youth setup in 2008, from Rápido Bahía CF.[3] On 13 October 2013, he made his senior debut with the reserves at the age of just 16, starting in a 1–0 Segunda División B home win against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[4]

On 4 September 2014, Villar extended his contract until 2019,[5] but only featured regularly for the B side during the 2015–16 season. On 14 May 2017, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, starting in the 3–1 away loss to Deportivo Alavés.[6]

In July 2017, Villar was definitely promoted to the main squad after refusing to play with the second team.[7] The following 25 January, he extended his contract until 2023 and was immediately loaned to fellow top-division club Levante UD for six months.[8][9]

At the start of the 2020–21 campaign, Villar was first choice under manager Óscar García, by virtue of being Celta's only fit goalkeeper.[10] On 11 August 2021, he was loaned to Segunda División side CD Leganés for one year.[11]

Villar began 2022–23 as backup to Agustín Marchesín, newly arrived from FC Porto. However, after the Argentine suffered a serious injury in February, he became the starter.[12][13]
