Martín Gastón Demichelis (Spanish pronunciation: [marˈtin demiˈtʃelis]; born 20 December 1980) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Málaga CF usually as a central defender, although he can also operate as a defensive midfielder.
Demichelis spent most of his professional career with Bayern Munich in Germany (seven and a half years), winning 11 major titles with the team. He also competed in his home country with River Plate, in Spain with Málaga and in England with Manchester City.
Demichelis gained 51 caps for Argentina, representing the country in two World Cups – finishing second in 2014 – and the 2015 Copa América.
Born in Justiniano Posse, Córdoba, Demichelis started playing professionally in 2001, with Buenos Aires-based Club Atlético River Plate, having arrived at the club's youth system three years earlier.
He made his first-team – and first division – debut on 2 September 2001 in a game against Estudiantes de La Plata, scoring his only goal for the team against Rosario Central.
Demichelis signed for FC Bayern Munich in the 2003 summer, for €4.5 million.His first season in the Bundesliga was not very positive as he suffered a number of minor injuries, appearing in only 14 league games (21 in total) as the Bavarians finished in second position; in early 2004 he appeared in his only game with the reserves, against Stuttgarter Kickers.
