Club career

Early career

He signed from FC Barcelona for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2007 and initially played for Liverpool reserves; before his transfer to Liverpool, Pacheco enjoyed a reputation as a rising star in the ranks of Barcelona's youth academy. Such was his ability to score goals from almost any position, teammates nicknamed him El Asesino (The Assassin).[3][4]

Pacheco made his first start for the Liverpool reserves on 5 February 2008, against Bolton Wanderers. He scored the first goal of the game, a low curling shot past Ian Walker. In April 2008, Pacheco made a 50-yard pass to assist Krisztián Németh in scoring the only goal of the game against Blackburn Rovers Reserves, which secured the Premier Reserve League North title for Liverpool. On 7 May 2008, Pacheco, who came on as a substitute in the second half, threaded a through pass to teammate Lucas Leiva to score the third and final goal in Liverpool's Reserve League final victory over Aston Villa at Anfield.[5]

Liverpool

Pacheco made his first team debut on 9 December 2009, as a second-half substitute for Alberto Aquilani in a UEFA Champions League match against Fiorentina.[6][7] His league debut came jon the 26th when he replaced Aquilani once more in a 2–0 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.[8][9]

On 18 February 2010, Pacheco came on as a substitute in the 75th minute for Aquilani again in a UEFA Europa League match versus Unirea Urziceni; six minutes later he provided a headed assist for David N'Gog's winning goal.[10]

On 23 March 2011, Pacheco joined Norwich City on emergency loan until the end of the season, being handed the number 37 shirt. He made his debut against Scunthorpe United on 2 April, setting up the first goal for Grant Holt and playing through the pass which won the penalty for Norwich's second goal in a 6–0 rout at Carrow Road.[12] He scored his first Norwich goal in the 5–1 away victory over East Anglia derby rivals Ipswich Town on the 21st, concluding the thrashing after coming on as a substitute for Wes Hoolahan.[13]

On 24 August 2011, Atlético Madrid announced on their official website that Pacheco had joined the club on loan from English club Liverpool for the 2011–12 La Liga season, and would be immediately loaned to Rayo Vallecano for the season. It was also confirmed that Atlético had an option to buy Pacheco at the end of the season.[14] Pacheco made his debut for Rayo Vallecano as 84th-minute substitute in the 0–1 win against Getafe on 18 September.

On 31 January 2013 he was loaned to second-tier SD Huesca until the end of the season.[15] Pacheco scored on his debut for Huesca, the last goal in a 2–0 win over Real Murcia on 3 February. He helped his team with 5 goals in 19 matches.

He went on to score early in the semi-final against England, a game in which Spain won 3–1. They then lost the final against France 2–1, with Pacheco making an assist.[20] He won the Golden Boot at the Championships after scoring 4 goals.[21] Pacheco made his debut for the Spain U21 football team with Liverpool team-mate Daniel Sánchez Ayala when he featured in a friendly against France on 24 March.
