Segundo Víctor Ibarbo Guerrero (born 19 May 1990) is a Colombian footballer who plays as a forward for Colombian club Atlético Nacional, on loan from Italian side Cagliari. He usually plays as winger, although he also plays as a striker.

Club career

On 4 July 2011, Ibarbo transferred from Atlético Nacional to Cagliari, having previously been close to a move to Udinese two years prior.[1]

On 10 March 2013, he scored a hat-trick in a 3–1 win over Sampdoria, having only scored once in 23 previous games that season.[2]

On 3 November 2014, he was given a straight red card in the 72nd minute of a 4–2 defeat at Lazio.[3]

On 1 February 2015, he joined fellow Serie A club Roma on loan until the end of the season. The club paid €2.5 million, with the option to purchase him for €12.5 million.[4] He made his debut two days later, replacing Francesco Totti for the last 17 minutes of a 0–2 home defeat against Fiorentina in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia.[5]

On transfer deadline day on 1 September 2015, Ibarbo joined Premier League side Watford on a season-long loan from Cagliari.[6]

International career

Ibarbo made his international debut on 27 May 2010 in a 2–1 defeat to World Cup hosts South Africa in Johannesburg. He gained four more caps in friendlies that year. On 14 November 2013, three days shy of three years since his last call-up, he scored his first international goal in a 2–0 friendly win over Belgium, after replacing Luis Muriel.[7]

Ibarbo was a member of the Colombia squad which reached the quarter-finals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He started their first match in Group C, a 3–0 win over Greece.[8] In the second match, a 2–1 win against the Ivory Coast, Ibarbo was substituted after 53 minutes for Juan Quintero due to injury.[9] Quintero remained in the left-wing position until Ibarbo recovered for the quarter-final defeat to Brazil, in which he was replaced at half time by Adrián Ramos.[10] He made two substitute appearances in Group C at the 2015 Copa América in Chile, in which Colombia again reached the last eight.
