The 35-year-old defender has also won five league titles, two Portuguese cups, seven Portuguese League Cups and also emerged as the runners-up in the Europa League twice. Thanks to his vast experience at the European level, the Glorioso manager Rui Vitoria will be relying on him to inspire the boys to Champions League victory in the first leg against Thomas Tuchel's men later today at the Estadio da Luz.
