Rodrigo Sebastián Palacio Alcalde (Spanish pronunciation:[roˈðɾiɣopaˈlasjo]; born 5 February 1982) is an Argentine professional basketball player and former footballer who played as a second striker. He is the son of José Ramón Palacio, a historic player of Club Olimpo during the 1980s.[3] Palacio holds a Spanish passport, allowing him to be counted as an EU player.[4]
At international level, Palacio has represented the Argentina national team at two FIFA World Cups and a Copa América, winning runner-up medals at the 2014 World Cup and the 2007 Copa América.
Beyond his qualities as a footballer, Palacio is also known for his rattail braid hairstyle.[5][6]
