[edit] Club career
Initially starting out at hometown club Real Zaragoza, Camacho was spotted by Atlético Madrid, and was signed to its youth academy. He made his first-team debut on 1 March 2008 (a starter, he played 68 minutes and was booked), as the colchoneros won 4–2 at home over FC Barcelona. He had just signed his first professional contract two months earlier.[1]
On 3 May, he scored his first La Liga goal (netting twice), in another home success, this time against Recreativo de Huelva (3–0, one day shy of his 18th birthday).[2]
After some excellent performances in 2007–08, Camacho would however spend the following season restricted to cup matches (he did not make the league's list of 18 in most of the games), with coach Javier Aguirre preferring Portuguese Maniche and new signing Éver Banega. This situation would slightly improve in late February 2009, as new coach Abel Resino had a run-in with Maniche, leaving him out of the squad for the remainder of the campaign.
The 2009–10 season did not provide Camacho with the needed opportunities to progress; injured for most of the early part of the season, when healthy, he was mainly utilized in injury time of matches. In the following campaign, he appeared even more rarely - no minutes in the league whatsoever - and, in late December 2010, was transferred to Málaga CF, with teammate Sergio Asenjo also making the move, in a loan deal.[3]
[edit] International career
Camacho captained the Spain U17s to the title at the 2007 European Championship, scoring one goal himself during the tournament.[4]
In 2008, following his performances with Atlético's first team, he was promoted to the under-21s, but missed the 2009 European Championships through injury.
