Champions again, four years later
FC Porto are national champions. The title was sealed and president André Villas-Boas dedicated it to two men who shaped the club: former president Pinto da Costa and former captain Jorge Costa, both of whom have passed away. Villas-Boas said the trophy was reclaimed in their honor after four years without it (8). The emotion around this one runs deep.
André Silva return talks underway
Porto are in advanced negotiations to bring André Silva back to the club. The Portuguese international is available on a free transfer, but even if he signs, the club still wants another forward (1). A low-risk move with big upside.
AVB put his money where his mouth is
Before the first team even got their hands on the trophy, Villas-Boas paid €5,000 to every player in the club's secondary squad for beating Benfica's B team in the II Liga (2). That is how badly he wanted to beat the rival. Old school.
Fernando Sá: 'Very consistent, with attitude'
After a strong performance, Fernando Sá praised the team's mentality: 'Today we were very consistent, with attitude and with responsibility' (7). The standards are being set high across every level of the club.
Fan reactions
The title has the fanbase split between celebrating and planning ahead. One thread asks bluntly whether Porto should keep the core together or sell to balance the books, while others are tracking the André Silva return and a reported €20m+ push for Nordsjælland's Caleb Yirenkyi. The basketball team also beat Sporting in Game 3 of their playoff semi-final, adding to a golden weekend. Join the discussion
