“This title has a whole structure behind it. It has a machine that works every day, with people who do not appear in the picture, but without whom nothing happens. So today, my gratitude is complete and without exception: to the board, the management, the executive committee, football operations, scouting, youth development, the medical departments, performance, logistics, services, the club’s departments and those of the FC Porto Group, from Olival to Dragão. A sea of people around one objective. Thank you and congratulations!”, reads the latest edition of Dragões magazine.

“The end of the season always brings farewells. And these farewells remain etched in the memory because they leave human and sporting marks. Thiago Silva, Luuk de Jong, Moffi and Fofana contributed greatly to winning the title. But I want to highlight Thiago Silva, for his humanity, for his example, for the way he gave himself to this club, for having come back to close a wound that had been open since 2004. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for returning to FC Porto”, André Villas-Boas also said.
