Luís Miguel Afonso Fernandes (born 6 October 1989 in Bragança), aka Pizzi, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Atlético Madrid in Spain, as a forward.

Club career

Early years

Pizzi started his career at local club G.D. Bragança, appearing in four third division matches whilst still a junior. He completed his formation in Minho, signing for S.C. Braga in 2007.

Loaned by Braga, Pizzi made his senior debuts also in the third level, with G.D. Ribeirão. For the 2009–10 season, in the same predicament, he joined S.C. Covilhã, but left in the following transfer window to F.C. Paços de Ferreira, still owned by Braga. He made his top division debut on 16 January 2010, playing 25 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against F.C. Porto.

In 2010–11, Pizzi scored seven league goals for Paços, only missing three league games. On 8 May 2011, he netted a hat-trick in a 3–3 draw at Porto, which turned out to be the only home league match that the eventual champions failed to win during the season.

Atlético Madrid

On 30 August 2011, Pizzi moved to Spanish team Atlético Madrid, on loan until the end of the year, after which the Colchoneros had an option to buy the player permanently. He made his La Liga debut on 18 September, replacing also newly-signed Radamel Falcao midway through the second half of a 4–0 home win against Racing de Santander.
