Pablo Aimar (born November 3, 1979) is an Argentinian football player, who currently plays central midfielder for Valencia CF of the Spanish first division.
Aimar began his ascent to stardom with CA River Plate, whose first team he joined for the 1997/8 season, and with whom he quickly established himself as one of the best young players in Argentina.
Valencia signed Aimar in 2001, at a price of 24 million Euros. The purchase proved justified, however, as Aimar helped lead the team to a first-place finish in the 2001/2 Spanish season, as well as to a 2001 Champions League final, in which they were defeated by Bayern Munich.
Aimar also has won the UEFA Cup with Valencia, defeating Olympique Marseille in 2004.
Aimar is nicknamed "El Payaso", the Clown. Other nicknames include "El Cai", "El Pibe" and "El Mago".
