Club career

Born in the town of Borgonyà[2] in the municipality of San Vicente de Torelló, Vilamala joined the grassroots FC Barcelona when she was only eleven years old.[3]

In October 2018, Vilamala tore her ACL in a match against AEM Lleida.[4]

She debuted with the Barça first team on 1 February 2020 against Sevilla at only 17 years of age, with Vilamala being the fourth youngest player to wear the shirt of the culés.[5] During the 2020–21 season, she was a regular on the payrolls of the Barça first team despite the fact that she still had a filial role.[3] On 18 October 2020, she scored her first goal in the Primera División in the 6-0 win against Sporting de Huelva. On 10 May 2021, she scored against Granadilla, which would be decisive in the 1-0 victory, with which they won the Liga Iberdrola title.[3] In that season, Barcelona would end the best campaign in its history by winning the Liga, Copa de la Reina and Champions League titles. For her part, Vilamala would close the season with 12 goals converted in the Liga in just 15 games, being the sixth highest scorer of the culé campaign and the second with the best scoring average.[2]

On 25 October 2021, Vilamala suffered the second ACL tear of her career during a friendly with Spain's under-23 national football team.[6] She reappeared on 20 November 2022 in a Liga F match against Deportivo Alavés.[7]
