About Oleguer Presas

Oleguer Presas Renom (born 2 February 1980), known simply as Oleguer, is a Catalan former professional footballer. Primarily a centre-back, he could also play as a defensive right-back. During his career, he was mostly associated with Barcelona, with which he won two La Liga championships and the 2006 Champions League, appearing in 175 competitive matches. He signed for Ajax in 2008, where he remained until his retirement. Oleguer was also known for his political approach; he supported left-wing causes and Catalan nationalism, which caused some controversy and led to one sponsor dropping him. He would make his first-team debut during a 2002–03 UEFA Champions League match against Galatasaray SK, a 3–1 home victory where he came on as a late substitute for Frank de Boer.
