Roberto Jiménez Gago (Spanish pronunciation: [roˈβerto xiˈmeneθ ˈɣaɣo]; born 10 February 1986), known simply as Roberto, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for RCD Espanyol as a goalkeeper.
An Atlético Madrid youth graduate, Madrid-born Roberto played mainly for the B-side, only receiving the occasional call-up due to suspensions or injuries. After a plague of the latter, he made his first-team debut, playing in a 1–2 away loss against CA Osasuna.
In early July 2008, Roberto was deemed surplus to requirements and sold to fellow La Liga club Recreativo de Huelva as part of the deal that sent Florent Sinama Pongolle in the opposite direction – Atlético, however, had an option to rebuy. During his first year, which ended in relegation, he was restricted solely to appearances in the Copa del Rey.
On 13 July 2009, Roberto returned to Atlético after the payment of €1,250,000 to the Andalusians, penning a three-year contract. This happened after the simultaneous departures of Grégory Coupet and Leo Franco from the Colchoneros.
As first-choice Sergio Asenjo was summoned for the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, Roberto was promoted to the starting XI, his first game being a 2–5 loss at FC Barcelona on 19 September. Shortly after he got injured and, when he returned, found himself third-choice behind Asenjo and youngster David de Gea; thus, in late January 2010, a loan to struggling Real Zaragoza was arranged until the end of the season– he relegated Juan Pablo Carrizo to the bench, helping the Aragonese finally escape relegation.
