El Albañil, the bricklayer, played more internationals than any other Paraguayan across 148 caps, going to two World Cups and four Copas América, runner-up in 2011, and winning Mexican titles with Toluca in 2005 and 2008, Paraguayan titles with Libertad in 2002 and 2003, and the 2003 CONCACAF Champions' Cup. Career record: club career at Atlántida Sport Club, Toluca, Real Zaragoza.
