Iñaki Descarga

Descarga was born in Irun, Basque Country. After an insignificant stint with CA Osasuna in the Segunda División and a season with neighbours SD Eibar in the same level, he spent eight years with Levante UD, where he would be one of their most influential players as well as captain, helping to two promotions to La Liga.

Descarga scored his goal in the top tier on 8 April 2007, in the 1–1 home draw to Real Betis. His second and last came on 20 May that year, a consolation in a 1–4 defeat against Osasuna also at the Estadi Ciutat de València. Following Levante's severe financial crisis during 2007–08, Descarga was one of many players who would leave, joining Legia Warsaw in August 2008 and reuniting with former Osasuna teammate Iñaki Astiz. He made his Ekstraklasa debut in a 2–2 draw with Arka Gdynia, leaving the pitch after just 13 minutes after tearing his hamstring; he left at the end of the campaign, with ten total appearances. In July 2009, Descarga signed with his first club Real Unión, recently promoted to the second tier. On 20 June 2010, as they were immediately relegated, he helped seal their fate by scoring in his own net in a 0–2 home loss to neighbours Real Sociedad (last matchday). After not being able to help Unión return to division two, Descarga retired in June 2011 at the age of…
