Portu
Cristian Portugués Manzanera (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkɾistjam poɾtuˈɣes manθaˈneɾa]; born 21 May 1992), commonly known as Portu ([ˈpoɾtu]), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a winger for La Liga club Girona.
He played over 275 La Liga games and scored over 40 goals, in service of Valencia, Girona, Real Sociedad and Getafe, winning the Copa del Rey with the third of those clubs in 2019–20.
Born in Beniel, Region of Murcia, Portu played as a child at local CD Beniel and Real Murcia CF before moving to Valencia CF's youth system in 2009. He made his senior debut with the reserves at only 17, going on to spend several seasons with the side in the Segunda División B as well as one in the Tercera División; in January 2012, he was called up by first-team manager Unai Emery due to a string of injuries.
Portu played his first official game with the Che's main squad on 27 February 2014, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Federico Cartabia in a 0–0 home draw against FC Dynamo Kyiv in the round of 32 of the UEFA Europa League. His maiden appearance in La Liga came three days later, as he started and was booked in a 1–0 away loss to Rayo Vallecano.
On 11 July 2014, it was announced that Valencia had sold Portu to Segunda División club Albacete Balompié with a buy-back option. He scored his first professional goals on 18 October, netting a brace but in a 3–2 defeat at CD Mirandés.
On 21 June 2016, after Alba's relegation, Portu signed a three-year deal with Girona FC also in the second tier. He scored eight goals (also providing eight assists) in his first season, helping the Catalans to a first ever top-flight promotion.
Portu bettered that total to 11 the following campaign, as Girona easily retained their league status. Highlights included the winner in a 2–1 comeback victory against Real Madrid on 29 October 2017, and a brace to ensure a 2–2 draw at Real Betis on 25 November. The following 24 February, he took three minutes to give his side a lead away to neighbours FC Barcelona, albeit in a 6–1 loss.
In 2018–19, Portu contributed nine goals but suffered relegation.
