Óscar Miñambres Pascual (born 1 January 1981) is a Spanish retired footballer.

He could operate as either a defender or midfielder on the right side, and had his professional career marred by constant injuries.[1] He appeared in 37 competitive games for Real Madrid.

Club career[]

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 10 February 2002, playing 90 minutes in a 7–0 home thrashing of UD Las Palmas in his sole La Liga appearance of the season.[2] He would also make his UEFA Champions League debut that year, appearing against FC Porto and setting up a goal for Santiago Solari in a 2–1 second group phase away win.[3]

After years of battling with injuries and a loan at fellow league side RCD Espanyol in the 2004–05 campaign,[4] Miñambres became a free agent after Real Madrid did not offer him a new deal.

Hércules[]

On 8 August 2007, Marca officially announced that Miñambres would play the next three years with Segunda División's Hércules CF.[5] The following day, however, he terminated his contract with the club because his knee was not fully recovered,[6] and he immediately retired from football.
