Club Career
Ustari arrived in Club Atlético Independiente's youth system at the age of 14. The untimely deaths of club players Emiliano Molina and Lucas Molina (both playing in his position) propelled him to the first team sooner than expected, and he made his first division debut on 5 October 2005 in a 2–0 win against Newell's Old Boys, remaining first-choice with the Avellaneda side in the following tournaments, under both Jorge Burruchaga and Miguel Ángel Santoro (both former players with the club, the latter also a goalkeeper).
On 10 June 2007, Ustari scored from a penalty kick against Quilmes Atlético Club, also leaving the pitch injured and going on to miss the year's Copa América. One month later, he signed for Getafe CF in La Liga for €4 million, teaming up with compatriot – and goalkeeper – Roberto Abbondanzieri; his official debut came on 26 September 2007, in a 1–2 loss at Valencia CF.
Ustari struggled during his spell with the Madrid outfit, due to inconsistent performances and several injury problems. On 17 July 2012, after a 14-month lay-off due to the latter, he rescinded his contract which still had another year running.
On 25 July 2012 Ustari returned to his country, signing for Boca Juniors.

“At first, it must be remembered, that [women] can never accomplish anything until they put womanhood ahead of wifehood, and make motherhood the highest office on the social scale.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, pp. 24-5 (January 1870)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
