Sérgio Paulo Barbosa Valente (born 27 June 1980), known as Duda (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈduðɐ]), is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Málaga CF as a left winger.
He is mostly known for his set pieces and crossing ability, and spent his entire professional career in Spain, collecting more than 300 official appearances for four clubs. He represented mainly Málaga and Sevilla.
The recipient of 18 caps, Duda appeared for Portugal at the 2010 World Cup.
Having grown through the ranks of Vitória de Guimarães, Porto-born Duda had not yet played one single competitive senior game when he was sold to Cádiz CF in the third level of Spanish football. For the 2001–02 season he switched to La Liga with Málaga CF and, after a loan move to Segunda División with Levante UD, was everpresent in a team that achieved two consecutive 10th-place finishes, also appearing in the UEFA Cup via the Intertoto.
In 2005–06, involved in a contract dispute, Duda featured scarcely as Málaga was relegated and, during the summer, he joined Andalusia neighbours Sevilla FC. Incidentally, his arrival coincided with the emergence of another left-footed player, Antonio Puerta (whom played as either left back or midfielder); after Puerta's sudden death the following campaign he also played backup, to Diego Capel.
