18 years ago, Săpunaru joined FC Porto to win it all in blue and white | OneFootball

On 14 July 2008, FC Porto secured the signing of Cristian Săpunaru from Rapid Bucharest, finding in the Romanian international a solution for the vacancy left by José Bosingwa, who had been transferred to Chelsea.

The Dragons paid €2.5 million for 50% of the right-back’s economic rights, and he signed a contract valid for five seasons. Săpunaru arrived at the Dragão with the mission of strengthening the right flank and quickly won over the fans thanks to his commitment on the pitch and the bond he built with the club and the city.

The Romanian represented FC Porto between 2008 and 2009 and from 2010 to 2012, making 103 appearances, scoring three goals and providing two assists for the first team.

During his time in blue and white, he won three league titles, one Europa League, three Portuguese Cups and three Cândido de Oliveira Super Cups.
