Miguel Ángel Pérez Pilipiux (born 10 April 1947 in Buenos Aires) is a retired Argentine professional footballer who played as a forward.

Football career

Pérez began his professional career in 1965 with Deportivo Italiano, in the Argentine second division. The following year he moved abroad, signing with La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid, who also briefly loaned him to AS Monaco FC in France.^[1]

With the Merengues, Pérez was used mainly as a backup during his six-year spell, but contributed to the conquest of two leagues and one cup. His best individual season at the club was 1970–71, as he scored four goals in 20 games (19 starts), but Real came out empty in silverware, finishing the league in fourth position.

Also in the country, Pérez played one year in the top level for Real Zaragoza, then took his game to the lower leagues - appearing for three teams in as many seasons - before retiring in 1977 at the age of 30. He played one match for Spain's under-23, a 0–1 loss against France on 18 March 1971.^[2]
