Raphaël Adelino José Guerreiro (born 22 December 1993) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for French club FC Lorient mainly as a left back but also as a left midfielder.

Born in France, he began his career at Caen, signing in 2013 with Lorient where he made his Ligue 1 debut.

Guerreiro represented Portugal at under-21 and senior level, first appearing for the latter in 2014. He was part of the squad at Euro 2016.

Club career

Born in Le Blanc-Mesnil, Seine-Saint-Denis to a Portuguese father and a French mother, Guerreiro played youth football for three clubs, finishing his formation at SM Caen after signing in 2008 at the age of 14.[1] After starting as a senior with the reserve team he made his professional debut in the 2012–13 season, appearing in all the games and failing to start only once in an eventual fourth-place finish in Ligue 2; he was also elected to the Team of the Year.

On 27 June 2013, Guerreiro moved to Ligue 1 after signing a four-year contract with FC Lorient.[2] His maiden appearance in the competition took place on 10 August, as he featured the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 away loss against Lille OSC.

On 1 November 2014, Guerreiro scored his first goal for Lorient, opening the scoring at title-holders Paris Saint-Germain F.C. but in an eventual 1–2 defeat.[3] He finished the campaign with seven goals to help his team stave off relegation, including the equaliser as they came from behind to defeat his former employers 2–1 at the Stade du Moustoir.[4]

Guerreiro opened the scoring in a Derby Breton on 24 October 2015, assisted by Majeed Waris in a 1–1 home draw against Stade Rennais FC.[5]

International career

Though born in France, Guerreiro accepted the call to represent the Portuguese under-21s after being spotted by Rui Jorge's coaching staff, making his debut on 21 March 2013 in a 0–1 home defeat against Sweden.[6]

On 7 November 2014, even though he hardly spoke the language,[7] he was called up by Fernando Santos to the full side for a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Armenia and a friendly with Argentina.[8] He made his debut on 14 November against the former opponent, playing the entire 1–0 win in Faro;[9] four days later, against the latter, he scored in the last minute for the only goal at Old Trafford.[10]

Guerreiro returned to the under-21s for the 2015 UEFA European Championship in the Czech Republic, helping them finish in second place. He was one of five Portuguese included in the Team of the Tournament.[11]

Personal life

Guerreiro supported S.L. Benfica as a child and dreamt of playing for Real Madrid, where his favourite player Cristiano Ronaldo played. His Portugal under-21 manager, Rui Jorge, remembered him as a very introverted character, in part due to his language difficulties.[7]
