12 years since Cristian Tello joined Porto: 57 games, 10 goals, 10 assists | OneFootball

It was on July 16, 2014, that FC Porto officially announced the loan signing of Cristian Tello from Barcelona for the following two seasons, with an option to buy. The Spanish winger arrived at the Dragão after three seasons with the Catalan club, in a move influenced by Julen Lopetegui, who was Porto’s coach at the time.

Between 2014 and 2016, Tello represented the Dragons in 57 matches, scoring ten goals and providing ten assists.

The highlight of his spell at FC Porto came in the 2014/15 season. Against Sporting, the Spaniard shone with a hat-trick in a performance that remains one of the most fondly remembered by Porto fans.

After a first season of major impact, the winger lost ground in the second. In January 2016, following Lopetegui’s departure from the managerial role, he returned to Barcelona and was later loaned to Fiorentina.

Later on, Tello completed a permanent transfer to Real Betis, where he spent the longest period of his career.
