Álvaro Vadillo Cifuentes (born 12 September 1994 in Puerto Real, Cádiz, Andalusia) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Betis as a left winger.
On 28 August 2011, Vadillo became the second youngest ever player to appear in a La Liga match, as he started in a 1–0 away win against Granada CF at the age of 16 years, 11 months and 16 days.[1] Previously, he contributed with 14 games (one goal) in Segunda División as the Andalusians returned to the top level after a three-year absence.
On 15 September 2011, Vadillo collided with Sergio Ramos in the early minutes of an eventual 1–4 loss at Real Madrid, being stretchered off and sidelined for several months, with a torn cruciate ligament.
