Roberto Miguel Acuña Cabello (Spanish pronunciation: [roˈβerto miˈɣel aˈkuɲa kaˈβeʎo]; born 25 March 1972) is a Paraguayan footballer who plays for Deportivo Recoleta.
Nicknamed El Toro (bull) due to his strength and dominating presence, he operated as a central midfielder. He spent several years as a professional in Spain at Zaragoza and Deportivo, being very unlucky at the latter.
Acuña played 100 times for Paraguay, representing the nation in three World Cups and four Copa América tournaments.
Acuña was born in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, Argentina, emigrating to Paraguay at a young age and starting playing for Club Nacional in 1989. After five years, he decided to acquire the country's citizenship to play for the national team, eventually becoming the second most capped player in Paraguay's history, second only to Carlos Gamarra.
Afterwards, Acuña played four seasons back in Argentina, with Argentinos Juniors, Club Atlético Independiente and Boca Juniors, before moving to Europe in 1997 where he signed with Spain's Real Zaragoza. With the Aragonese he was an everpresent midfield fixture, helping the side to the 2001 conquest of the Copa del Rey. In 2001, he won the Paraguayan Footballer of the Year award.
