Early Life and Background: A Football Prodigy

Grimaldo started his football training at Valencia CF from an early age of five. It was in 2008 that Grimaldo was called to the youth academy of FC Barcelona, La Masia. The serious harm to his knee kept him out for a whole season but gave him the nickname "El Peque," meaning "the little one."
