Portuguese footballer
Bruno Miguel Semedo Varela (born 4 November 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Vitória S.C. as a goalkeeper.
He represented Benfica, Vitória de Setúbal and Vitória de Guimarães in the Primeira Liga. Abroad, he played with Valladolid in Spain and Ajax in the Netherlands.
Across all age groups, Varela earned 53 international caps for Portugal, and was part of their under-23 team at the 2016 Olympics.
Club career[edit]
Benfica[edit]
Born in Lisbon and of Cape Verdean descent,[2] Varela joined local club S.L. Benfica‘s youth system at the age of 11. On 22 September 2012, whilst still a junior, he made his professional debut, appearing for the reserves in a 2–0 away win against C.D. Aves in the Segunda Liga.[3]
From 2013 to 2015, with the team still in the second division, Varela was the undisputed starter. His competitive input with the main squad consisted of nine bench appearances, the first of which occurred on 29 August 2011 in a Primeira Liga match at C.D. Nacional when he was just 16 years old.[4]

Return to Benfica[edit]
In July 2017, Varela agreed on a return to Benfica for a fee of around €100,000.[10][11] He made his competitive debut on 5 August, starting in the 3–1 victory over Vitória S.C. in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.[12][13] His first appearance in the UEFA Champions League took place on 12 September, in a 1–2 group stage home loss to PFC CSKA Moscow.[14]
On 16 September 2017, Varela committed a blunder which resulted in a 2–1 away defeat against Boavista FC.[15] He was quickly deemed surplus to requirements by manager Rui Vitória, with the club acquiring Mile Svilar and Odisseas Vlachodimos in the following weeks;[16] however, after the former went down with influenza and the latter was only due to arrive…
