#1 Winner everywhere!

Danilo has been a champion for all the clubs he has represented so far in his career. He won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C title in 2009 with his boyhood club America, which is the third division of Brazilian Football League.

Following his move to Santos in 2010, Danilo cemented his position during his two-year spell at the club and eventually went on to be part of the Copa Libertadores-winning team in 2011.

The winning culture continued for Danilo at Porto where he successfully won back to back titles since his arrival in Europe. This surely looks ominous for Real Madrid as they look out to win their first La Liga crown in four years. Can Danilo be their lucky charm? We’ll have to wait and watch.
