During 18 years as a senior he never played in the
Pauleta also scored 47 goals in 88 matches for Portugal, a national record at the time of his retirement. He played for his country in two World Cups and two European Championships.
Club career
Early years and Spain
Born in
The goals continued to flow following a switch to Spanish second level side UD Salamanca in 1996, with Pauleta scoring 19 goals as it gained promotion to La Liga in the following year, adding a further 15 in his first season in the top flight.[4] That rate earned him a move to Deportivo de La Coruña, in summer 1998.[5]
Pauleta scored his first goal in European competition in the 1999–2000 UEFA Cup, netting in a 3–1 home win against Montpellier HSC[6] and repeating the feat in the second leg (2–0).[7] On 22 November 1999 he netted a hat-trick for Depor in a home fixture against Sevilla FC,[8] going on to enjoy a two-year spell with the Galicians which included 33 goals in 92 official matches, including eight from 12 starts as the club won its first league championship title in 2000.[9]
Bordeaux
On 1 September 2000, after being tracked by the likes of Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Sunderland, Pauleta joined FC Girondins de Bordeaux in France, reportedly for financial and family reasons.[10] He scored three as his new club crushed FC Nantes 5–0 in an away match,[11][12] and some days later, on 26 September, did the same in a UEFA Cup first round match against Lierse SK, with his team qualifying for the next round;[13] he enjoyed an impressive run in his first season, ending it as team top scorer with 26 goals in all competitions,[14] and the Ligue 1's second leading scorer with 20.
In the
In 2002–03, Pauleta proved himself another time, scoring 23 league goals and 30 overall. For the second time he won the title for the best player in the league, and was also named in its team of the year. In total, he registered 65 league goals in 98 games and 91 in 130 matches in all competitions for Bordeaux,[21] ranking third all-time upon his departure.[22]
Paris Saint-Germain
Pauleta joined
On 2 April 2006, Pauleta scored his first hat-trick for Paris Saint-Germain against former club Bordeaux, as the hosts won 3–1.[24] Despite reported interest from defending champions Olympique Lyonnais, he stayed put to help clinch the 2006 French Cup; he netted his 99th and 100th overall goals for the side in heroic fashion, off a fantastic volley and a textbook header respectively.[25]
Pauleta scored one of PSG's goals as they won the
In late May 2009, Pauleta played his farewell match at the Parc des Princes, playing one half each with a team of friends and PSG – former and current – players. His son André, 13, replaced him at the end of the game and scored the final two goals.[30]
São Roque
Pauleta returned to football at the age of 37, joining amateurs Grupo Desportivo São Roque in the Azores' regional leagues and retiring shortly after arriving.[31]
International career
Pauleta was the first Portugal national team player to never have played in the Portuguese top level when he made his international debut against Armenia, in August 1997. He would have to wait 18 months for his first start, against the Netherlands. His first goals came a month later, when he scored two in a 7–0 rout of Azerbaijan in a UEFA Euro 2000 qualifier on 26 March 1999.[32]
A substitute at the Euro 2000 tournament, Pauleta led the Portuguese attack at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, scoring three times against Poland[33] and ending with that tally in as many games, as the nation was ousted in the group stage. On 19 November 2003, he scored four goals in an 8–0 friendly win over Kuwait in Leiria.[34]
Although he played all but one game on the road to
During the 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign, Pauleta was the European zone's top scorer and, in a friendly match against Cape Verde in May 2006 preluding the final stages, he showed great form as he netted a hat-trick in a 4–1 win.[39] However, after scoring the side's first goal in the group stage match against Angola,[40] he failed to find the net again during the tournament; after Portugal's defeat to Germany in the third place play-off, he announced his international retirement.[41]
Style of play
A prolific goalscorer in his prime, Pauleta was considered one of the best strikers in Europe. He usually operated as a lone striker or alongside another forward, and combined mobility, pace and athleticism with good technique, two-footedness and strength in the air.[42][43][44][45]
Personal life
Pauleta's nickname was passed down from generation to generation in the family of his father's maternal grandmother,[46] while his goal celebration of spreading his arms like wings earned him the additional moniker The Eagle of the Azores.[47]
In November 2005, he signed to become a FIFA ambassador for the SOS Children's Villages, the first Portuguese to do so.[48]
