A few months later, she took part in the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 with Spain and scored her first competitive international goal in a match against England.

In 2014, Hermoso joined FC Barcelona and switched her playing position from a midfielder to a false 9, a forward position. This change led to her becoming a very successful goal scorer. She won two Pichichi titles as the top scorer in the Spanish league and secured two league titles and two Copa de la Reina trophies. She also represented Spain in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, which was Spain's first appearance in the tournament. After leaving Barcelona in 2017, Hermoso played for PSG in France and then returned to Spain in the 2018-19 season to play for her former club Atlético Madrid. She won her third Pichichi title and fourth league title there. She came back to Barcelona in 2019 after playing for Spain in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.
