– WP:COMMONNAME of all footballers is just "Borja Sánchez", always omit maternal last name. No WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, so disambiguate to standard for footballers. Ortizesp (talk) 15:00, 13 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Support, consistent with footballing standards.--Bob not snob (talk) 06:24, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oppose convoluted disambiguation when last name is more natural. b uidhe 18:20, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
- Maternal last names when not use aren't natural - "Such a title usually conveys what the subject is actually called in English". As per convention for other footballers, WP:COMMONNAME has to stand, and these footballers common name is exclusively "Borja Sánchez",--Ortizesp (talk) 19:07, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
