Carlos Antonio Muñoz Cobo (born 25 August 1961), known simply as Carlos, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.
He represented five clubs in his professional career in his country, mainly Oviedo, moving to Mexico well into his 30's where he continued to score at an excellent rate. Over the course of 11 seasons, he amassed La Liga totals of 314 games and 111 goals.
Carlos was born in Úbeda, Andalusia. At the age of seven, he moved to Catalonia with his family for working purposes, beginning his career with local amateur clubs and making his senior debuts in Tercera División with CF Igualada.
In 1981, Carlos moved to Cádiz for his military service, going on to spend one year out of football as local Cádiz CF tried to acquire him, being denied by Igualada.
In 1983, Carlos signed for FC Barcelona, going on to appear almost exclusively for its reserves during his spell – he did compete with the main squad in the Copa de la Liga – and also being consecutively loaned to Elche CF, Hércules CF and Real Murcia, all in La Liga. In the 1987–88 season, still owned by the Blaugrana, he joined Real Oviedo in Segunda División, with whom he achieved promotion (finished fourth, but Real Madrid Castilla was ineligible) while becoming the category's top scorer.
