António Alberto Bastos Pimparel (born 1 May 1982), known as Beto, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Sporting Clube de Portugal as a goalkeeper.
He made a name for himself at Leixões before transferring to Porto in 2009, being a backup during two seasons. After one season in Romania with CFR Cluj he joined Sevilla in January 2013, going on appear in 87 competitive games and win two Europa League trophies.
Beto earned 11 caps for Portugal, being part of the squads in two World Cups and Euro 2012.
Beto was born in Lisbon. After unsuccessfully developing in local Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth system (he only played one season with the first team, being third-choice), he played one season on loan to neighbours Casa Pia AC, being released in June 2004.
After one year each with G.D. Chaves and F.C. Marco, both in the second division, Beto joined Leixões S.C. for the 2006–07 campaign, helping the Matosinhos club return to the Primeira Liga and only missing seven games in his three seasons combined.
In March 2009, before 2008–09 ended, Beto agreed to a move to FC Porto, in a four-year deal worth €750.000 effective as of June. During his two-season spell he acted almost exclusively as backup to Brazilian Helton, being mostly restricted to Taça de Portugal matches; on 22 May 2011, with the score at 2–2, he stopped a penalty kick in the domestic cup final, with his team eventually winning 6–2 in Lisbon.
