Born in
Asunción, Fleitas started his career at
Club Libertad of Paraguay, making his debut at the age of 17 and quickly earning the nickname
babygol. In 1967, he was the top scorer of the
Paraguayan League, coming to the attention of Spanish side
CD Málaga, who eventually signed Fleitas in 1968. A good first season at Málaga was enough to attract the interest of
Real Madrid, who signed him in 1969. At Real Madrid, Fleitas won the
Copa del Rey in the 1969–70 season and one
Spanish League title in 1971–72. He was the scorer of Real's only goal in the
1971 European Cup Winners' Cup Final replay game in Piraeus, Greece, won 2–1 by
Chelsea. After retiring in 1976, Fleitas worked in football in various capacities, ending up as a scout for Real Madrid. ==International career==
