María Isabel "Misa" Rodríguez Rivero (born 22 July 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga F club Real Madrid CF and the Spain national team. She won the Zamora Trophy in 2020–21 season, conceding 0.93 goals per game.
Club career
[edit]Misa Rodríguez, who originally operated rhythmic gymnastics as a child, began her football career in the youth of CD Yoñé La Garita in her hometown of Telde at the time, where she played up front. In 2013, she went to CD Femarguín, a club from Arguineguín, and moved to the goalkeeper position. Finally, with CD Femarguín, she made her adult debut in the 2016–17 season in the Segunda División, the second division in Spanish football.[3]
Her good performances drew the attention of the top Spanish club Atlético Madrid and they signed her in February 2017. In the capitals she played in the beginning mostly with the B team in the second division, while she served primarily as a substitute goalkeeper in the A squad.[4] Misa Rodríguez made her first-team debut on 25 November 2018 in the Copa de la Reina in a 4–2 win over Malaga FC. She made her debut in the league on 23 February 2019, when she replaced Lola Gallardo in the 46th minute in a 6–1 win against Fundación Albacete. However, since she was unable to assert herself against first-choice goalkeeper Lola Gallardo during her time at Atlético Madrid, Misa Rodríguez switched to the newly promoted team in the Primera División Deportivo de La Coruña in the summer of 2019. She fared much better here, sharing goal-scoring position with Esther Sullastres but ultimately making 12 appearances in 21 games played in the 2019/20 season. Her team surprised on their first appearance in the top Spanish league with a fourth place in the season, which was shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rodríguez joined newly established Real Madrid Femenino at the beginning of 2020-21 season. In the same season, she won the Zamora trophy awarded to the goalkeeper with the lowest "goals-to-games" ratio in the Spanish league. By March 2023 she had made her 100th appearance for the Merengues, reaching the milestone in the same match as midfielder Maite Oroz.[5]
International career
[edit]
Misa Rodríguez made her debut for the U-19 national team in a match against Azerbaijan on 17 September 2016 in the course of qualifying for the U-19 European Championship. In addition to two appearances in qualifying, she also played the final group game against Scotland, which the Iberians decided 1-0 for themselves. Her team won the European title with a 3–2 win over France in the final. A year later she was in Spain's squad for the finals of the U-20 World Cup. Her team reached the final where they lost 3–1 to Japan, but Misa Rodríguez never played in the tournament. She made three appearances in qualifying for the 2019 U-19 European Championship, one in the first round and two more in the elite round, but was not nominated for the final squad that ultimately successfully defended the title.
Misa Rodríguez received her first call-up to the senior national team for the qualifier for the Euro 2022 against Moldova on 19 September 2020, but ultimately did not play. After several games on the bench, she made her national team debut against Azerbaijan on 18 February 2021, also in the European Championship qualifier.
