Living through “another unforgettable day” in “a beautiful story” that will continue to be written “at the level FC Porto deserves to be, which is in Liga BPI,” the National Champions of the women’s Second Division showed “pride” in the “historic achievement” they had reached and explained that “being a National Champion with FC Porto is something that cannot be described, only lived,” while reminding everyone that “a Porto fan only thinks about what comes next, and many good things are still to come”: “We exceeded expectations. We did things in a big way, we did not take any missteps, and even more is yet to come.”
Maria Negrão“I never imagined this. It’s a good thing it happened; it feels even better when you’re not expecting it. It’s an unforgettable day for me and for FC Porto. I had been hoping for this ever since I signed; I’ve been a devoted FC Porto supporter since I was little, and this means a lot to me. Now it’s time to enjoy it and then keep writing a beautiful story. I think we are a very young team, and no one expected us to reach the Portuguese Cup final and beat First Division teams. This is a historic achievement that no one was expecting. We exceeded expectations.”
Ema Gonçalves“Special as always, even more so wearing this shirt. It was the fulfillment of the goal we had set for ourselves, earlier than expected, which says a lot about the work we did throughout the season and the way we pushed ourselves in the dressing room. It was an excellent season, which is not over yet, but this is one objective achieved, and it is a source of pride to be a National Champion with FC Porto once again. It all happened very quickly; sometimes I feel there is not even time to enjoy it. Living all this as a Porto fan is very special. We are already in Liga BPI and, of course, a Porto fan only thinks about what comes next. Whatever comes next is good; it is still early to say, but many good things are still to come.”
Angeline da Costa“It is a very special moment. Being a National Champion with FC Porto is something that cannot be described, only lived. I did not think much about the captain’s armband; I am a captain naturally because I like to help my teammates. It is true that it brings more responsibility, but I do not think much about it. We managed to place FC Porto at the level it deserves to be, which is in Liga BPI. We did things in a big way, we did not take any missteps, and even more is yet to come.”
