Club career
Born in Mos, Province of Pontevedra, Galicia, Blanco finished his formation with local Celta de Vigo. He played his first games as a senior at only 16, with the B-team in Segunda División B.
On 26 May 2013, two months shy of his 18th birthday, Blanco made his main squad – and La Liga – debut, entering the pitch at half-time after Javi Varas suffered a serious shoulder injury and keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 away win against Real Valladolid.[1][2] He retained his position for the following match, the last of the campaign, helping to a 1–0 home success over RCD Espanyol as Celta managed to stay up, being the first team above the relegation zone.[3]
