Óscar García Junyent, simply Óscar (born April 26, 1973 in Sabadell, Barcelona, Catalonia), is a former Spanish footballer.

A versatile offensive unit, he could play as an attacking midfielder or a second striker.

[edit] Football career

Óscar made his professional debuts in football for FC Barcelona. During 1992–94, he played five overall league matches for the back-to-back champions. After a loan at Albacete Balompié, he returned and was often put to use (with good results) in a variety of offensive roles. During 1995–96, Óscar netted 10 league goals - squad's best, even though he only started 11 of his 28 appearances.

With his role gradually diminishing, Óscar joined Valencia CF for one season, finishing off with Barça neighbours RCD Espanyol (teaming up again with brother Roger, for three seasons) and UE Lleida, retiring at 32.

Internationally, he appeared for the nation at the 1996 Summer Olympics, netting twice for the quarterfinalists.

[edit] Personal

Óscar's brothers, Roger and Genís, were also footballers. All youth products of Barcelona, they had however different fates as professionals (especially the latter).^[1]
