Talking about Kenti Robles is not talking about any other Mexican player. The now 30-year-old defender arrived in Spain to try some luck when she was only fourteen. Since then, her career has only got better to the point that in 2020, Robles was named the Best Latin-American footballer.

The energetic 5 feet 7 right-back has been a part of the three most important and successful clubs in Spain: Atlético Madrid, Fútbol Club Barcelona and her current team, Real Madrid where she plays an important role in the structure proposed by Spaniard coach David Aznar.

Having arrived in Spain with only fourteen years old, it was RCD Espanyol -FC Barcelona's regional rival- who gave her a chance to be a part of their youth academy. After three years working hard for that section, she finally got promoted to be a part of Espanyol's main women's team.

In her first season, she obtained the Copa de la Reina with Espanyol, a massive honour in her debut year. In 2011, Robles was signed by Barcelona and in her first campain as a 'Culé' she won both the Spanish League and the Copa de Catalunya. Then, during the 2012-13 season Kenti achieved a 'triplete' after obtaining the Copa de Catalunya, Copa de la Reina and Spanish League, all with Barcelona.

She signed for Atlético Madrid in 2015 where she enjoyed great success too during the five years her tenure lasted, before finally changing sides to play for local monster Real Madrid in 2020. With the 'Merengues' she already played two seasons and she has scored twice.
