About Vítor Baía
Vítor Manuel Martins Baía, OIH is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Baía made his first-team debut in a game against Vítoria de Guimarães, and did not lose his starting place for the following seven seasons, winning five leagues and two Taça de Portugal and conceding only 116 goals (16,5 goals per year). He and Italian Stefano Tacconi are the only goalkeepers in history to have won the three main UEFA club competitions. While he only missed one La Liga match in his first season, as Barcelona finished second to Real Madrid, adding that campaign's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, Baía also suffered from knee problems during his two-and-a-half-year spell.
