Raphaël Adelino José Guerreiro ComM (European Portuguese: [ʁɐfɐˈɛl ɡɨˈʁɐjɾu];[2] born 22 December 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a left-back or midfielder for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and the Portugal national team.

He began his career at Caen, signing in 2013 with Lorient where he made his Ligue 1 debut. In June 2016, he joined Borussia Dortmund, going on to win two DFB-Pokal and the 2019 DFL-Supercup. He moved to Bayern Munich in 2023 on a free transfer.

Born in France, Guerreiro represented Portugal at under-21 and senior level, first appearing for the latter in 2014. He was part of their squad at two World Cups and two European Championships, winning Euro 2016.

Club career[edit]

Caen[edit]

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 development at Caen after signing in 2009 at the age of 15.[3] 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.[4]

Lorient[edit]

On 27 June 2013, Guerreiro moved to Ligue 1 after signing a four-year contract with Lorient.[5] His maiden appearance in the competition took place on 10 August, as he featured the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away loss against Lille.[6]

On 1 November 2014, Guerreiro scored his first goal for Lorient, opening the scoring at title-holders Paris Saint-Germain in an eventual 2–1 defeat.[7] He finished the campaign with seven goals to help his team stave off relegation,[8] including the equaliser as they came from behind to defeat his former employers 2–1 at the Stade du Moustoir.[9]

Guerreiro opened the scoring in a Derby Breton on 24 October 2015, assisted by Majeed Waris in a 1–1 home draw against Rennes.[10]

Borussia Dortmund[edit]

On 16 June 2016, Borussia Dortmund signed Guerreiro on a four-year contract[11] for a reported fee of €12 million (£9.5 million).[12] Under coach Thomas Tuchel, he was primarily deployed as a midfielder.[13]

Guerreiro scored his first goal in the UEFA Champions League on 14 September 2016, in a 6–0 away win against Legia Warsaw in the group phase.[14] In the 2018–19 edition of the competition, and also at that stage, he added braces in victories over Atlético Madrid (4–0, home)[15] and Monaco (2–0).[16]

On 27 May 2023, in the last matchday, Guerreiro scored his fourth goal of the season – he also totalled 12 assists[17]– to help the hosts to come back from a 2–0 deficit against Mainz 05 and draw 2–2, but Der Klassiker rivals Bayern Munich defeated 1. FC Köln 2–1 away and were crowned Bundesliga champions instead.[18] The following day, Dortmund announced the departure of five players, including Guerreiro.[19]

Bayern Munich[edit]

On 23 June 2023, Bayern Munich announced that they had secured Guerreiro as a free agent;[20] he agreed to a three-year deal.[21][22] He made his debut for the club on 26 September, coming off the bench in a 4–0 away win over Preußen Münster in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.[23] He scored his first goal on 11 November, taking the field at the hour mark and netting the Bavarians' third in a 4–2 league home victory against 1. FC Heidenheim.[24]

International career[edit]

Guerreiro at the 2018 FIFA World Cup

Guerreiro accepted the call to represent the Portugal under-21 team after being spotted by Rui Jorge's coaching staff, making his debut on 21 March 2013 in a 0–1 home defeat against Sweden.[25] On 7 November 2014, even though he hardly spoke the language,[26] he was called up by Fernando Santos to the full side, for a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Armenia and a friendly with Argentina.[27] He made his debut on 14 November against the former opponent, playing the entire 1–0 win in Faro.[28] Four days later, against Argentina, he scored in the last minute for the only goal at Old Trafford.[29]

Guerreiro returned to the under-21s for the 2015 UEFA European Championship in the Czech Republic, helping them finish in second place.[30] He was one of five Portuguese included in the Team of the Tournament.[31]

Guerreiro was selected by the main squad for their UEFA Euro 2016 campaign,[32] playing the full 90 minutes in the first game, a 1–1 draw with Iceland in Saint-Étienne.[33] Portugal went on to win the competition, defeating hosts France 1–0 in the final in extra time;[34] following his performances throughout the competition, he was nominated for the Young Player of the Tournament Award, which ultimately went to his teammate Renato Sanches.[35]

In spite of an injury-riddled season,[36] Guerreiro was picked for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[37] He started four matches in Russia, in a round-of-16 exit.[38]

Guerreiro also made the squad for UEFA Euro 2020.[39] He opened the 3–0 victory over Hungary in the first group fixture,[40] but scored an own goal the following one in a 4–2 loss to Germany.[41]

In November 2022, Guerreiro was named in the final squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[42] On 6 December, he scored his team's fourth in an eventual 6–1 rout of Switzerland in Lusail in the round of 16.[43]

Personal life[edit]

In 2014, Guerreiro said that he supported Benfica, dreamed of playing for Real Madrid, and that his favourite player was Cristiano Ronaldo. His Portugal under-21 manager, Rui Jorge, remembered him as a very introverted character, in part due to his language difficulties.[26]

Guerreiro and his family used to watch matches of the Portugal national team, of which Pauleta was a footballer he admired.[44]
