Mario Gaspar Pérez Martínez, simply known as Mario (born 24 November 1990), is a Spanish footballer who plays for Villarreal CF in La Liga, as a right defender.

Football career

Mario was born in Novelda, Province of Alicante. On 15 March 2009, aged just 18, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut for Villarreal CF, in a game against Atlético Madrid: he replaced Giuseppe Rossi with roughly 25 minutes to play, with the score at 2–1, but the Yellow Submarine eventually lost 2–3 away.

Mario spent the entire 2009–10 season with the reserves, starting in all 31 games he appeared in as the team easily retained its newly found Segunda División status. He was definitely promoted to the main squad midway through 2010–11, following Ángel López's severe knee injury, being also propelled to the starting XI.

On 16 January 2011, in his first start, Mario played the full 90 minutes in a 4–2 home win against CA Osasuna.^[1]
