Before returning to his birthplace, Nani played for Manchester United, Fenerbahce Istanbul, Valencia and Lazio Rome, among others. The winger also played in Australia and the USA. He scored 24 goals for the national team, three of them on the way to the 2016 European Championship title in France.
Without statistical value, but legendary in Switzerland is Nani's cross in December 2011 in the Champions League match between Basel and Manchester United (2:1): Markus Steinhöfer volleyed his cross into his own crossbar at St. Jakob-Park. An action that the Basel fans honored with a song.
