His clubs, in this archive

The archive covers 5 of the seasons Robinho spent at AC Milan, 2010/11 to 2014/15. AC Milan won the Serie A once in that span and finished in the top four three times, averaging 69 points a season. At Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, 3 covered seasons run 2005/06 to 2007/08, best finish 1st in 2007/08. At Manchester City F.C., 2 covered seasons run 2008/09 to 2009/10, best finish 5th in 2009/10. Those placings are recalculated from the individual results rather than copied from a table, so they can be read against any other club on this site.

Only the seasons this archive holds are listed — it begins in 2000/01 and covers league matches in the five competitions named above, so a career that started earlier or ran through other leagues shows a gap here rather than a blank.

How this page is put together

The career table above is the structured record held on Wikidata under a public-domain licence, read once and cached, not queried while you are reading. The player is bound to that record by date of birth rather than by name: a name search returns the wrong Klose and three different Robinhos, and a page carrying somebody else’s links cannot afford that.

Compare any two clubs he played for with the head-to-head tool, or read the records these seasons feed into.

How many of those seasons are in this archive?

10 of them, at 3 clubs. The archive runs from 2000/01 and covers the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, so seasons outside that window or in other leagues are not counted.

Which competitions can this site say anything about?

La Liga, Premier League, Serie A. Those are the ones his clubs played in during the seasons the archive holds; the rest of the career is listed above but has no placings beside it.

Where do these figures come from?

The career record is the structured data held for this player on Wikidata, which is public-domain. The league placings and points beside it are not: those are recalculated here from every individual result in the archive, which is why they can be compared with any other club or season on this site.

The record spans 16 years, from 2005 to 2020, across 7 clubs, with 6 moves between them. The longest single spell was at Brazil, 12 recorded seasons from 2005 to 2018, and the average club spell runs to 2.3 seasons.

International football accounts for a further 12 seasons with Brazil, running alongside the club years rather than after them — which is why the dates in the table overlap.

Spells are listed by the seasons in which the player appears in the provider’s squad records. Where two clubs overlap in the same year the player moved mid-season, and both are shown rather than one being chosen.

Read against this site’s own league archive: AC Milan did not finish top of the league in any season of his 2011–2013 spell; Manchester City did not finish top of the league in any season of his 2008–2009 spell; Real Madrid won the title in 2007/08 during his 2006–2007 spell.

Honours

16 titles are recorded, alongside 11 runner-up or other placed finishes. Both lists come from the same squad records as the career table above, so a competition the player was registered for but did not play in can still appear.

Frequently asked

Which clubs did Robinho play for?

The record lists 8 senior teams: Başakşehir, Brazil, Sivasspor, Atletico-MG, Santos, AC Milan, Manchester City, Real Madrid.

Over what period is Robinho’s career recorded here?

From 2005 to 2020. Coverage begins where the data provider’s own records begin, so a career that started earlier may show fewer early seasons than it had.

Which club did Robinho spend longest at?

Brazil — 12 recorded seasons, from 2005 to 2018. The column counts seasons in which he appears in that club’s squad, not appearances, so half a season on loan still counts once.

What has Robinho won?

16 titles are recorded, the most frequent being Serie A.

Did Robinho appear for a national side?

Yes — Brazil is listed alongside the clubs, covering 2005 to 2018, because international spells sit in the same squad records.
