Miguel Porlán Noguera (born 12 October 1961), known asChendo, is a Spanish formerfootballer who played as aright-back. He spent his entire professional career withReal Madrid, making 497 official appearances and winning several titles.[1]
Chendo was a member of theSpain national team, being selected for twoWorld Cups.
Born inTotana,Region of Murcia, Chendo played professionally withReal Madrid for 17 seasons, winning sevenLa Liga titles, twoCopa del Rey trophies, oneUEFA Champions League, and back-to-backUEFA Cups. He arrived at the club at the age of 15 and was part of its junior ranks for five years, making his debut for the first team on 11 April 1982 in a 2–1 win atCastellón.[2]
He got his opportunity at the starter position at the beginning of1983–84, whenJuan José, who dominated the right-back position, was injured. When Juan José returned to the first team, Chendo returned to the bench, but finished the season again as first-choice, making 26 competitive appearances.[2]
Chendo became the starter in hisfourth year, playing 25 league matches and adding 11 inEuropean competition. At the end of the season, Realwon theUEFA Cup against Hungarian clubFehérvár by a 3–1 aggregate score, and conquered theCopa de la Liga with a 4–3 aggregate victory overAtlético Madrid, with the player starting in both finals; the team finished fifth in the league, 17 points behind championsBarcelona.[2]
For the next eight seasons, Chendo was the undisputed starter of a squad that collected five straight league titles. From 1992 to 1995, however, he would only make 34 league appearances, losing his place toNando,Luis Enrique andPaco Llorente. Though he took part in 23 games in the1995–96 campaign, he played second-fiddle toQuique Sánchez Flores,Carlos Secretário andChristian Panucci. LikeManolo Sanchís later, he was a moral supporter and a bench captain, subbing rarely and starting even more rarely.[3]
After Real Madrid liftedtheir seventh European Cup againstJuventus on 20 May 1998 (he did not play inthe decisive match), Chendo retired from professional football, aged almost 37. He immediately started working with the club as a match delegate, occupying that position for well over two decades.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
Chendo earned 26caps forSpain, and played in the1986[10] and1990FIFA World Cups. Backing up Atlético Madrid'sTomás in the former and starting in the latter, he totalled five appearances.[11]
Chendo's debut came on 22 January 1986, in afriendly with theSoviet Union inLas Palmas.[12][13]
On 2 July 1986, the 24-year-old Chendo was involved in a car accident nearQuintanar de la Orden. He and his wife emerged unscathed, but their one-month old son Miguel died.[14]
