The magic of the Trivela has returned to Ultimate Team.

Known for his flair, technical ability, and signature outside-of-the-foot shots, Quaresma remains one of the most beloved figures in football culture. This SBC is a celebration of a career defined by creativity and audacity on the pitch.
The Legendary Career of O Cigano
Ricardo Quaresma, often referred to as 'O Cigano' or 'The Mustang,' has enjoyed a storied career across Europe's top leagues. Starting at the Sporting CP academy alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, he quickly moved to Barcelona before finding his true home at FC Porto. In Portugal, he became a symbol of technical excellence, winning multiple league titles and the Intercontinental Cup. His impact was not limited to domestic success; he was a vital part of the Portugal squad that lifted the Euro 2016 trophy, famously scoring the winning goal against Croatia in the Round of 16. With a trophy cabinet that includes a UEFA Champions League title from his time with Inter Milan under Jose Mourinho, Quaresma has left an indelible mark on the sport.
