30 December Cristian Tello Herrera (Spanish
pronunciation: [ˈkɾistjan ˈteʎo eˈreɾa] ; born 11
August 1991) is a Spanish professional
footballer who plays for Portuguese club FC
Porto , on loan from FC Barcelona, as a
forward or winger.
He spent his youth at Espanyol and
Barcelona, playing for both teams' reserves
before breaking through into the first team of
the latter.
Tello represented Spain at the 2012 Olympics,
and was part of the under-21 squad which
won the European Championship in 2013 .
Club career
Born in Sabadell , Barcelona, Catalonia , Tello
started playing at the age of eight with CF
Can Rull, moving to FC Barcelona shortly after
and being loaned to another side in the
region, CF Damm, for one year.
In 2008 his contract expired, and RCD
Espanyol signed him. He made his senior
debuts in the 2009–10 season, playing four
games with the B-side with the club being
relegated from the third division .
In June 2010 Tello moved back to FC
Barcelona B , with the team in the second
level . [1] On 9 November 2011 he made his
debut for Barça' s first team, playing the full 90
minutes in a 1–0 away win against CE
L'Hospitalet for the season's Copa del Rey ; [2]
he scored a brace in the second leg, a 9–0
routing. [3]
Tello made his first La Liga appearance on 28
January 2012, coming on as a substitute for
Adriano in the 75th minute of a 0–0 away
draw at Villarreal CF . [4] The following
weekend, in his first league start, he opened
the score in the eighth minute of a 2–1 home
win against Real Sociedad after a through ball
by Lionel Messi , and played the entire match.

Champions League .
On 7 March 2012, Tello replaced Andrés
Iniesta early into the second half of a match
against Bayer 04 Leverkusen at the Camp
Nou , making his debut in the UEFA Champions
League : within two minutes he scored his first
goal, after Cesc Fàbregas played him through
over the top and he ran from the half way line
to net from just inside the penalty area for
the 4–0; six minutes later, from a similar
position, he made it 6–0 for the hosts in an
eventual 7–1 win (10–2 on aggregate). [6]
Even though his future initially seemed
uncertain, [7][8] Tello managed to convince
new manager Tito Vilanova and stayed in
roster for 2012–13 , inclusively going on to
start in several games. On 19 September 2012
he scored the opener and assisted Messi in
the second goal, in an eventual 3–2 home win
over FC Spartak Moscow for the campaign's
Champions League group stage , where he was
also chosen as man of the match . [9]
On 13 December 2012, Tello signed a new
contract with Barcelona, keeping him with the
Blaugrana until June 2016. [10] Nine days later
he scored after only 30 seconds on the pitch,
in the last play of a 3–1 away win against
Real Valladolid. [11]
