==Club career==
===Real Madrid===
Born in [[Torrejón de Ardoz]], [[Community of Madrid]], Guti began playing for [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]]'s ''[[cantera]]'' in 1986, initially as a [[Forward (association football)#Striker|striker]] but being later moved to [[Midfielder|midfield]], and remained there for the vast majority of his career. On 2 December 1995 he made his first-team debut, in a 4–1 home win against [[Sevilla FC]];<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1995/12/03/pagina-21/1316613/pdf.html|title=Los niños ponen patas arriba el Bernabéu|trans-title=Kids turn the Bernabéu upside down|newspaper=[[Mundo Deportivo]]|first=Carlos|last=Carbajosa|language=es|date=3 December 1995|access-date=8 June 2017}}</ref> he finished [[1995–96 La Liga|the season]] with one goal in nine appearances.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1996/05/13/pagina-17/1328866/pdf.html|title=Diez minutos inspirados salvan al Real Madrid|trans-title=Ten inspired minutes save Real Madrid|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=Arturo|last=Alvarado|language=es|date=13 May 1996|access-date=8 June 2017}}</ref><ref name=Profile/> 
 
Guti added two trophies to his cabinet in 1997, [[La Liga]] and the [[Supercopa de España]], playing 17 competitive games during [[1996–97 La Liga|the campaign]]. In [[1997–98 La Liga|1997–98]] he helped the ''Merengues'' [[1997–98 UEFA Champions League|lift]] the [[UEFA Champions League]] and the [[Intercontinental Cup (1960–2004)|Intercontinental Cup]], while the player himself [[1998 UEFA European Under-21 Championship|added]] the [[UEFA European Under-21 Championship]].

[[1999–2000 La Liga|1999–2000]] started badly for Guti: struggling with the responsibility of replacing [[Clarence Seedorf]], he was [[Ejection (sports)|sent off]] for kicking a fallen adversary in a home fixture against [[Real Sociedad]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/1999/noviembre/21/deportes/realmadrid.html|title=Vicente Del Bosque no consigue sacar al Madrid del ostracismo|trans-title=Vicente Del Bosque does not manage to remove Madrid from ostracism|newspaper=El Mundo|language=es|date=21 November 1999|access-date=8 June 2017}}</ref> This negative trait was often recurrent, as he was given his marching orders eight times during his career in the league alone.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2016/04/03/primera/1459708195_469764.html|title=Ramos ya es el tercer jugador más expulsado en Liga|trans-title=Ramos is already the player with the third-most ejections in League|newspaper=[[Diario AS]]|first=Sergio|last=Santos Chozas|language=es|date=3 April 2016|access-date=8 June 2017}}</ref> In the season, in which he also [[1999–2000 UEFA Champions League|captured the Champions League]], he scored six goals in 28 games.<ref name=Profile/> [[2000–01 La Liga|The following year]] he had his best individual input, netting 14 times and playing mostly as a striker due to injuries to [[Fernando Morientes]], and contributing greatly to the team's 27th league title and subsequently [[2001 Supercopa de España|another domestic Supercup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://realidadblanca.com/2017/02/24/real-madrid-recuerda-hat-trick-guti-2000/|title=El Real Madrid recuerda el ''hat-trick'' de Guti en 2000|trans-title=Real Madrid remember Guti hat-trick in 2000|publisher=Realidad Blanca|language=es|date=24 February 2017|access-date=8 June 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170808155012/http://realidadblanca.com/2017/02/24/real-madrid-recuerda-hat-trick-guti-2000/|archive-date=8 August 2017}}</ref>

Guti totalled eight goals in 63 games from [[2001–02 La Liga|2001]] to [[2002–03 La Liga|2003]], contributing three in nine matches as the [[2001–02 UEFA Champions League|2001–02 Champions League]] ended in conquest.<ref name=Profile/> After the purchase of [[Ronaldo (Brazilian footballer)|Ronaldo]] in summer 2002 he returned to midfield, and his scoring rate went down drastically.

Guti had his lowest season in terms of scoring in the [[2004–05 La Liga|2004–05 season]], as he failed to find the net for the first time in seven years with the first team;<ref name=Profile/> he only managed one official goal, in an international against [[San Marino national football team|San Marino]] in February 2005. In [[2005–06 La Liga|2005–06]], he played 43 games and netted six times (four in the league and two in [[UEFA|European competition]]).<ref name=Profile/>

With the election of [[Ramón Calderón]] as club president and his subsequent vow to bring [[A.C. Milan]]'s Brazilian star [[Kaká]] to Real Madrid, Guti's future at the [[Santiago Bernabéu Stadium]] appeared insecure. He was linked with a move away to cross-town rivals [[Atlético Madrid]] but, in the end, decided to stay with Real while Kaká stayed in Italy.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://elpais.com/diario/2006/07/27/deportes/1153951202_850215.html|title=Kaká planta a Calderón|trans-title=Kaká turns back on Calderón|newspaper=[[El País]]|first1=Daniel|last1=Borasteros|first2=Eleonora|last2=Giovio|language=es|date=27 July 2006|access-date=8 June 2017}}</ref>

With [[Zinedine Zidane]] retired, Guti found himself as the creative [[playmaker]] for the [[2006–07 La Liga|2006–07 campaign]], his preferred position. His excellent short and through pass abilities, especially a performance in a 3–2 home win against Sevilla on 6 May 2007 in which he played just 32 minutes [[Substitute (association football)|from the bench]],<ref name=Recital>{{cite news|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/deportes/Recital/Guti/elpepudep/20070506elpepudep_23/Tes|title=Recital de Guti|trans-title=Guti recital|newspaper=El País|language=es|date=6 May 2007|access-date=6 May 2007}}</ref> contributed to many of the goals which helped Real Madrid become league champions for the 30th time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cadenaser.com/articulo/deportes/Real/Madrid/gana/Liga/csrcsrpor/20070617csrcsrdep_5/Tes/|title=El Real Madrid gana su 30º título de Liga|trans-title=Real Madrid win 30th league title|publisher=[[Cadena SER]]|language=es|date=17 June 2007|access-date=8 June 2017}}</ref>

On 10 February 2008, Guti scored two goals and provided four [[Assist (association football)|assists]] in a home game against [[Real Valladolid]], for which he was named ''[[Player of the match]]''<ref>{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/2008/02/11/deportes/1202684403_850215.html|title=Sublime Guti, demoledor Madrid|trans-title=Sublime Guti, crushing Madrid|newspaper=El País|first=José|last=Sámano|language=es|date=10 February 2008|access-date=17 June 2022}}</ref>– his team won the game 7–0 and ultimately lifted another [[2007–08 La Liga|champions trophy]].

In [[2009–10 La Liga|2009–10]], already with Kaká on board, Guti still managed to appear significantly in the early stages, netting twice in the league.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.marca.com/marcador/futbol/2009_10/primera/jornada_2/esp_rma/|title=Kaká recarga la pólvora blanca|trans-title=Kaká recharges white gunpowder|newspaper=[[Marca (newspaper)|Marca]]|first=Jaime|last=Rincón|language=es|date=12 September 2009|access-date=8 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.elcorreogallego.es/deportes/futbol/ecg/manita-real-madrid-xerez-dos-goles-cristiano-ronaldo/idEdicion-2009-09-20/idNoticia-469325/|title=Manita del Real Madrid al Xerez con dos goles de Cristiano Ronaldo|trans-title=Real Madrid fiver to Xerez with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo|newspaper=[[El Correo Gallego]]|language=es|date=20 September 2009|access-date=8 June 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180706191026/http://www.elcorreogallego.es/deportes/futbol/ecg/manita-real-madrid-xerez-dos-goles-cristiano-ronaldo/idEdicion-2009-09-20/idNoticia-469325/|archive-date=6 July 2018}}</ref> However, in late October, following the 4–0 shock defeat at [[AD Alcorcón]] in the [[2009–10 Copa del Rey|round of 32]] of the [[Copa del Rey]], he allegedly insulted coach [[Manuel Pellegrini]] at [[half-time]], being then left out of the playing squads for a lengthy period;<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.marca.com/2009/10/30/futbol/equipos/real_madrid/1256904486.html|title=Pellegrini se carga a Guti|trans-title=Pellegrini ousts Guti|newspaper=Marca|first=Juan Ignacio|last=García-Ochoa|language=es|date=30 October 2009|access-date=17 November 2009}}</ref> after being reinstated he suffered with some injuries<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rtve.es/deportes/20100113/guti-no-se-crea-lesiones-se-vaya-coger-amapolas/311914.shtml|title=Guti: "El que no se crea mis lesiones que se vaya a coger amapolas"|trans-title=Guti: "Whoever thinks I'm lying about my injuries can go get stuffed"|publisher=RTVE|language=es|date=13 January 2010|access-date=8 June 2017}}</ref> but, due to the Brazilian also having physical problems, managed to appear regularly until the season's end.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://elpais.com/diario/2010/01/10/deportes/1263078013_850215.html|title=El rompecabezas con Guti y Kaká|trans-title=The Guti and Kaká puzzle|newspaper=El País|first=Eleonora|last=Giovio|language=es|date=10 January 2010|access-date=8 June 2017}}</ref>
