However, recently things turned sour between Patricio and the club's management, as he and many of his teammates were injured in an attack by club supporters at the training ground after missing out on Champions League qualification.

As a result, he decided to terminate his contract with Sporting and joined newly-promoted Wolves on a free transfer. Despite all these unfortunate events, Patricio was truly a legend as he deputised for them between the sticks a staggering 467 times.

He is also the Portuguese No.1 and was part of the team which defied all odds to be Euro 2016 champions.
