Fredy Guarín reflects on special years at Porto and the Dublin memories from a perfect season, when he was pivotal to their 2010/11 Europa League triumph.

According to O Jogo, the Colombian supplied a superb cross for Falcao’s decisive goal in Dublin. He then left for Inter for 11 M€ midway through 2011/12.

Guarín collected three Portuguese league titles, working under Jesualdo Ferreira, Villas-Boas and Vítor Pereira.

He developed at the Dragão and emerged as an option for the Colombia national team.

After a turbulent period later in life, he is now settled, carrying vivid memories of his time in Porto.
