Club career

Born in Balcarce, Buenos Aires, Azcárate moved as a youngster to Spain, first representing lowly FC Cartagena. In 2003, he joined newly promoted club Real Murcia, but would only appear in a combined nine games over two seasons, the first spent in La Liga[1][2] and the second in the second division.

From 2005 to 2007, Azcárate represented Atlético Madrid, but never made it past their reserves which competed in the third level.[3] After spending an unassuming campaign in Greece with AEK Athens F.C. he returned to Spain, joining third-tier Polideportivo Ejido.[4]

In 2010, after two seasons in Andalusia, Azcárate switched to another team in that league, CD Leganés. He was released at the end of 2011–12.
