Óscar Miñambres

Real Madrid

A product of Real Madrid's youth academy, Miñambres was born in Fuenlabrada, Community of Madrid, and first appeared with the first team on 13 December 2000, as a 66th-minute substitute for Albert Celades in a 2–1 away loss to CD Toledo in the round of 64 of the Copa del Rey; his La Liga bow took place on 10 February 2002, when he played 90 minutes in a 7–0 home thrashing of UD Las Palmas for his sole appearance of the season. He would also make his UEFA Champions League debut that year, appearing against FC Porto and setting up a goal for Santiago Solari in the 2–1 second group phase away win. After years battling injuries and a loan at fellow top-division side RCD Espanyol in the 2004–05 campaign, Miñambres became a free agent after Real Madrid did not offer him a new deal.

Hércules

On 8 August 2007, newspaper Marca officially announced that Miñambres would play the next three years with Segunda División club Hércules CF. The following day, however, he terminated his contract because his knee was not fully recovered, and he immediately retired from football.
