Antonio Núñez Tena (born 15 January 1979) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Recreativo de Huelva as a right midfielder.
His early career included spells at Real Madrid and Liverpool, on the fringes of both teams. Much of the rest of his career was spent in Segunda División, while he also played three years for Apollon Limassol in Cyprus.
Born in Madrid, Núñez started his career with CD San Federico, before joining Tercera División team CD Las Rozas. In 2001, he moved to Real Madrid, his favourite club growing up.
Courtesy of manager Carlos Queiroz, Núñez was promoted to the main squad for the 2003–04 season. On 2 September 2003, in his La Liga debut, he came on as a substitute for Javier Portillo 15 minutes from time in an away game against Villarreal CF and scored the 1–1 equalizer after just seven minutes; during the remainder of the campaign, however, in which the Merengues came up totally empty, he only amassed a further ten league appearances, all from the bench.
In August 2004, Núñez was transferred to Liverpool, becoming Rafael Benítez's second signing as club manager – after compatriot Josemi – as part of an exchange deal that saw Michael Owen go in the opposite direction for £8 million. He injured his knee in his first day of training for his new club, and was out of action for three months; he made his Reds debut as a starter in a Premier League match against Portsmouth, a 1–1 home draw on 14 December.
