Miguel Ángel Brau Blánquez (born 27 December 2001) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Granada CF.

Career

[edit]

Born in Cartagena, Region of Murcia, Brau joined Granada CF's youth sides in 2019, from EF Torre Pacheco. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 8 November 2020, starting in a 1–1 Segunda División B home draw against Córdoba CF.

On 11 February 2021, Brau renewed his contract with the Nazaríes until 2023.[1] On 2 September 2022, he was loaned to Primera Federación side CF Talavera de la Reina for the season.[2]

A regular starter as Talavera suffered relegation, Brau suffered a knee injury in May[3] and returned to Granada in July 2023, being back to the B-side now also in the third division. After returning to action in March 2024, he made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 24 May, coming on as a second-half substitute for Faitout Maouassa in a 7–0 away loss to Girona FC.[4][5]

Personal life

[edit]

Brau's father, also named Miguel Ángel, was also a footballer.[4] A centre-back, he played in the top tier with Albacete Balompié and in Segunda División with Atlético Madrid B.[5]
