His career at Fenerbahçe may be winding down, but when Roberto Carlos takes the pitch this weekend, he'll reach a landmark with the Yellow Canaries. The Brazilian legend will play in his 100th match with Fenerbahçe when they take on Beşiktaş.
Roberto Carlos made his Fener debut against Beşiktaş on August 5th, 2007. Now more than two years later, the defender will mark a milestone against the same Black Eagles' club. Carlos will wear the navy and yellow for the 100th time Saturday.
Through his first 99 games, Carlos has scored ten times and assisted on another six goals. The Brazilian star has now played in 25 European matches with the Canaries. Fener won 14 of those with Carlos in the lineup.
Carlos will end his career at Fener this season. Brazilian side Corinthians has already confirmed that they have reached a verbal agreement with the defender. He is expected to join the club either in January or at the end of the season.
