The 24-year-old made an impact immediately after joining the London City Lionesses from Barcelona last year, becoming a key player in their Women's Super League campaign. Fernandez, who was part of the Spain team that finished as runners-up to England at Euro 2025, has been praised by fans for her performances at right-back, earning her the club player of the season award. In reflecting on her decision to sign with London City, Fernandez expressed her delight stating that the club embodies potential, excitement, and progress, which she shares. She feels at home and committed to playing her part as the team aims to break into the WSL's traditional top three and qualify for the Champions League. Fernandez joins former Barcelona teammates Alexia Putellas and Mapi Leon at the club, with US billionaire owner Michele Kang leading the charge for success.",
