Gonçalo Ramos

Born in Olhão,[2] Faro District, Algarve on 20 June 2001, Ramos started his football career in the youth ranks of local side Olhanense in 2009, before joining Loulé in 2011.

[4] On 21 July 2020, he made his first-team debut with Benfica as an 85th-minute substitute for Pizzi in a 4–0 away win over Desportivo das Aves in the Primeira Liga, netting a brace in 8 minutes.

[8][9][10] Following the arrival of Roman Yaremchuk and the return of Darwin Núñez from injury, Ramos found limited first-team minutes, leading him to pursue a move out of the club in the winter transfer window.

[11] With the arrival of interim manager Nélson Veríssimo in January 2022, who had previously coached him at the B team, Ramos began playing more regularly, and reignited his form, scoring seven goals and adding two assists.

[16] Ramos began the 2022–23 season by scoring his first career hat-trick on 2 August in a 4–1 home win over Midtjylland in the first leg of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.

[21][22] On 15 January 2023, Ramos scored a brace to help the hosts secure a 2–2 draw against crosstown rivals Sporting CP in the Lisbon derby, being named man of the match.

[32] On 24 September, Ramos scored his first two goals for PSG in his sixth appearance in a 4–0 win over Le Classique rivals Marseille, after replacing Kylian Mbappé in the 32nd minute.

[35] Shortly after, he caught a virus, which caused him to lose six kilograms, with the situation getting worse in December, leading Ramos to be hospitalised, with PSG requesting Benfica's help in the entire logistics and monitoring his process, which they accepted.

The situation was confirmed by PSG's manager Luis Enrique on 19 January 2024, and after recovering, his form improved in the new year, scoring five goals in seven matches including, on 31 March, closing the 2–0 win over Marseille in the Le Classique at Stade Vélodrome, after replacing Kylian Mbappé in the 65th minute.

[49] On 20 September 2022, Ramos was called up to the senior team for the first time, as a replacement for Benfica team-mate Rafa Silva, who retired from international football, for the upcoming 2022–23 UEFA Nations League matches against the Czech Republic and Spain.

[58][59] Following the World Cup, with the arrival of new manager Roberto Martínez, Ramos lost his place to Ronaldo in Portugal's squad for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.

[61] On 13 October, Ramos scored the opening goal in a 3–2 win over Slovakia, leading Portugal to qualify for Euro 2024, marking the nation's fastest qualification to a major tournament in their history.

Due to his awareness and willingness to follow instructions, he understands how to rotate positions in ways in which to benefit the ball-holder with his movement, short or long passes.

Ramos usually links up with the midfield and makes proactive movements which always can put a striker in a goal-scoring position more often rather than standing around and waiting for the service, similar to Karim Benzema.
