Carlos Alberto Alves Garcia[2] (born 6 September 1982), known as Carlitos, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a right winger.

He moved to neighbours G.D. Estoril Praia one year later, achieving promotion to the Primeira Liga in his second season by scoring ten goals.

[4] He helped the club to their first league title in 11 years, but could never break into the first team (ten matches, nine as a substitute, none complete).

[8][9] He made his Swiss Super League debut for his new team on 28 July, in a 1–1 draw against FC Aarau at St.

[11] On 5 December, he scored the club's 200th goal in European competition, curling the ball into the back of the net from a free kick against SK Brann, which also meant that Basel reached the round of 32;[12][13] he and his side eventually won a domestic double of league and cup.

He was selected for the finals of the year's UEFA European Championship, scoring in extra time of the Olympic play-off to help to defeat the same adversary 3–2 in Oberhausen.
