From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carlos Aguilera Marín (born May 22, 1969 in Madrid) is a former Spanish international footballer. His position was initially a forward but he was also an accomplished right-winger.

He began his career at Atlético Madrid and his debut for the club came on March 26, 1998 against Sporting de Gijón, after playing for the 'B' team. He played for Atlético for six more years, winning two Copa del Reys, in 1991 and 1992. His spell at the club ended in 1993 when CD Tenerife signed him.

His time at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López was short, he only stayed there for three more seasons before returning to Atlético. He stayed with them for the rest of his career, and kept loyal to them even after they were relegated to La Segunda. His form during his return led him to being selected for the Spanish national team and his debut came on September 24, 1997 against Slovakia. He was included in his country's World Cup squad in 1998 and went on to play ten times for Spain.

He retired from the game in 2005.
