Career
Barbosa joined Benfica in 1933 and made his debut on 4 February 1934, against Sporting. It was the only time that Ribeiro dos Reis used him that season. In 1934–35, he only competed in the Campeonato de Lisboa and the next two seasons did not play at all, returning only on 7 November 1937 with Beleneses. He did play twice in the Primeira Liga, enough to win him the championship with Benfica.
His breakthrough season was in 1938–39, when he played 28 games in all competitions, scoring four goals, but Benfica failed to win any silverware. He left the club in 1939 with 45 games played and 8 goals scored.
