Pablo Ibáñez Tébar (born August 3, 1981 in Madrigueras, Albacete, Castile-La Mancha) is a Spanish footballer who currently plays for Atlético de Madrid, as a central defender.
[edit] Club career
Having grown through the ranks of hometown Albacete Balompié, Pablo made his first team debuts while it played in Segunda División. In 2003-04, he played his first first division encounter, on September 30, 2003, in a 2-0 home loss to CA Osasuna. He only missed one league game, helping the Castile-La Mancha side finish 14th.
The following summer, Pablo signed with Atlético de Madrid, forming a centre back partnership with Colombian Luis Amaranto Perea, arriving in the same season.
In 2007-08, despite heavy criticism, Pablo played in 34 league contests (netting in a 3-4 home loss against Villarreal CF), as the Colchoneros finished fourth, earning a return to the UEFA Champions League.
[edit] International career
Pablo made his Spain debut on November 17, 2004 in a friendly match against England, which was played in Madrid, which resulted in a 1-0 win, and was Spain's first-choice centre back at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, alongside Carles Puyol.
