Template:Spanish name 2 Miguel Ángel "Míchel" Salgado Fernández (born October 22, 1975 in As Neves, Galicia) is a Spanish footballer who is currently unattached. He plays as a right defender.

Nicknamed Il Due[1] (two in Italian), he is known for his combative tackling and attacking play.

Club career

Salgado began his professional career with hometown's Celta de Vigo, making his first division debut on January 22, 1995, in a 0–4 loss at Real Madrid. He served a second division loan spell at UD Salamanca, before eventually becoming first-choice.

Whilst at Celta, Salgado was involved in an incident with Atlético de Madrid's Juninho Paulista, in February 1998; after a dangerous challenge that went unbooked, the Brazilian playmaker was sidelined for six months, and missed that year's World Cup.[2][3]

In 1999, Salgado was snapped by Real Madrid, for €11,000,000, appearing in 29 league contests in his first season, while also helping the club win the season's Champions League. He was the capital side's starter during his first seven seasons, but was relegated to the bench by former Sevilla FC's youngster Sergio Ramos in 2006–07.

Salgado was still able to contribute with 16 games for the merengues' 30th national title, mainly due to injuries to Pepe, with Ramos being relocated to centre back. In the following two seasons, he played very rarely (only 17 matches combined), being sent off in the final game of the 2008-09 season, a 2-1 loss at CA Osasuna, on 31 May 2009, as Madrid slumped to a fifth consecutive league defeat.

Salgado was released by Real Madrid with the club already midway in its preseason, in early August 2009.[4]

Salgado was named in the selection of Spanish Team of the Decade by Goal.com. [5]

Salgado and former player of Real Madrid on August 5 2009, said goodbye to his liking, and on August 25 will leave the Santiago Bernabeu.

International career

Salgado won the first of his 53 caps for Spain on September 5, 1998, in an infamous 2–3 loss in Cyprus, for the Euro 2000 qualifiers, and was part of the nation's squads at Euro 2000 and 2006 FIFA World Cup, starting in the former and being backup in the latter, to Real Madrid teammate Ramos.

Due to last-minute injuries, he missed out on the 2002 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2004,[6]and also represented the autonomous Galician team.

Honours

Salgado is married to Malula Sanz, daughter of former Real Madrid president Lorenzo Sanz.
