Former Barcelona winger Cristian Tello has officially announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 35 following a career spanning 512 matches across six countries. The La Masia graduate, who enjoyed notable spells with Real Betis and Porto, called time on his playing days after a brief stint with UAE third-tier side Palm City FC.
FC Porto maintained their perfect league record with a 2-1 comeback win over Moreirense, but the victory was marred by a frightening injury to Victor Froholdt. Midfielder Froholdt was taken to hospital following a violent red-card challenge, as manager Francesco Farioli turned attention toward a daunting Champions League clash with Manchester City.
