Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves has recalled making his senior debut with Porto.
Neves made the breakthrough at the age of 17.
He recalled: "I had goosebumps. Any kid who is a fan of FC Porto and plays football dreams of playing at Estádio do Dragão. I had that chance.
"It was not usual for big teams in Portugal to put young players from their team to play. That is one of the days that I will never forget for the rest of my life.
"My whole family is FC Porto fans. Feeling their emotion... Then I think that I myself was on the bench so many times before that. I was a ball catcher, behind the goal. Very beautiful story to tell."
