Germán Lux

Mallorca Lux signed a four-year deal with RCD Mallorca for 2007–08, as a backup to youth graduate Miguel Ángel Moyá, but benefitted from an injury to the latter to appear in ten La Liga matches during the season. In his second year, the same occurred: Moyá was again downed with physical problems and Lux was promoted to starter, but lost his job in January 2009 with the signing of Dudu Aouate from Deportivo de La Coruña. where he initially played second-fiddle to Dani Aranzubia.

Lux was again the starter in the 2013–14 campaign, as the Galicians finished runners-up in the Segunda División and subsequently returned to the top flight. Afterwards, he alternated in goal with Fabricio.

Return to River On 26 June 2017, ten years after leaving for Europe, the 35-year-old Lux returned to River Plate on a three-year contract. In December 2021, after several years as backup to Franco Armani where he was often criticised for his performances, he announced his retirement.

International career As a starter during the 2004 Summer Olympics (all six matches, no goals conceded), Lux was instrumental in the gold medal triumph of the Argentina national team, who scored 17. He made his full debut on 9 March 2005 in a 1–1 friendly draw against Mexico, as manager José Pékerman only fielded players based in the Argentine league.

Lux was also first-choice in the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup for the runners-up. He was left out of the squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, however, and Oscar Ustari was picked instead.
