Marcelo Pablo Barticciotto Cicaré (born 1 January 1967) is an Argentine-born Chilean former footballer and manager.
In 1987, Barticciotto made his professional debut with Huracán of the National B Division in Argentina.
Barticciotto arrived to Chilean club Colo-Colo in 1988, where he would become an idol to supporters. Barticciotto won seven national championships and three international championships in twelve years with the club. The most important of those championships was the Copa Libertadores 1991, where he scored three goals. Colo-Colo is the only Chilean team to ever win the Copa Libertadores.
After these accomplishments, Barticciotto signed for Club América in Mexico. However, he did not experience the same form he had in Chile and in 1995 returned to Chile to sign for Colo-Colo's rival Universidad Católica. His time here was even shorter. In a game against his old team, Colo-Colo, Barticciotto scored the lone goal of the match which eliminated Colo-Colo from the Copa Libertadores tournament of the same year. Before the game, Barticciotto had stated in an interview that he did not want to score a goal against his former team but wanted to play a very good game. Therefore, when he scored the goal he did not celebrate it. Afterwards he reiterated that he wished he did not score the goal. Of course there was backlash from these comments and his actions and this ultimately led to his dismissal from the team.
In 1996, Barticciotto made his return to Colo-Colo. He regained his form and was an important part of the reason that Colo-Colo would win three straight championships from 1996-1998. In his final season, 2002, Colo-Colo would go on to win his seventh championship but was not a fixture in the starting line-up for most of the season.
On January 12, 2003 he retired in front of more than fifty thousands spectators in Colo-Colo's stadium, Estadio Monumental David Arellano. He retired having won the second most championships by a Colo-Colo player, behind only Luis Mena who has nine.
