Casemiro returns to Porto to recall “one of the finest goals of my career” | OneFootball

It's been over ten years since Casemiro made his mark at FC Porto. The Brazilian midfielder, currently playing for Manchester United, fondly recalls his time at Dragão, when he arrived on loan from Real Madrid.

In an interview with DAZN, the Brazilian international went back 11 years to remember a stunning goal scored in the blue and white jersey. "For you Portuguese, I think one of the goals I would put in my top-5 would be the free-kick goal against Basel, for FC Porto," recalled the 33-year-old midfielder.

On that occasion, Casemiro executed a long-distance free-kick that surpassed the Swiss goalkeeper, contributing to the 4-0 victory that confirmed the Dragons' passage, then led by Julen Lopetegui, to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, a competition in which they were later eliminated by Bayern.
