Career

[edit]

Bastía started his playing career in 1997 with Racing Club. He was part of the squad that won the 2001 Apertura, Racing Club's first league title in 35 years and their first major title of any description since 1988.

In 2003, Bastía joined Espanyol in Spain but only played eight games for the club before joining FC Saturn in Moscow in 2004, where he was once suspended for eight games.[1]

In 2005 Bastía returned to Argentina, playing for Estudiantes de La Plata before returning to Racing Club in 2006. In 2008, playing for Asteras Tripolis in Greece, Bastía received international fame when, on an away match against Panathinaikos FC, he tackled a pitch invader and received a red card.[2]

In 2011, Bastía returned to Argentina after three years in Greece, joining Colón. In 2013, he joined Atletico de Rafaela after not being valued by Colón coach Rubén Forestello.[3]

At the end of April 2019, Bastá terminated his contract with Colón and retired.[4]
