Win or go home tonight
It all comes down to this. FC Porto host Sporting tonight at 21h00 in the playoff semi-final, and only one team goes through to the final. You finished top of the league with 88 points and a +48 goal difference, now you need one more performance to keep the season alive. Every Porto fan knows what the Dragão feels like on nights like these. (3)
Gomes price tag scares off the sharks
William Gomes is yours, and the club wants to keep it that way. FC Porto have slapped a €60M asking price on the winger, high enough that even Atlético Madrid and Manchester United are backing away. Combined with the club's reported financial cushion, June could be a quiet month for unwanted exits. (1) (2)
Costa's armband gesture
João Costa has opened up about the moment Diogo Costa surprised him with the captain's armband during the celebration match. "Foi surpresa do nosso capitão," he said. He also made clear he wants Diogo to stay, and stressed the squad must "replicate this season with the same methodology." It is the kind of dressing-room leadership that has defined this campaign.

Youth trophy, scouting radar
The Under-17s delivered silverware too, placing their trophy in the museum and calling it "a year of the dragon." Meanwhile, a Porto target scored in Carlos Queiroz's debut match ahead of the 2026 World Cup, a name to keep an eye on. (4) (8)
Fan reactions
Confidence is sky-high heading into tonight's clash. One fan simply posted "Melhor defesa da Europa!", a nod to a backline that conceded just 88 points' worth of goals all league season, while the mood on the subreddit is summed up by another: "Não custa acreditar!" Belief is not in short supply. Join the conversation.
