Cláudio Ramos: “Sunday is our chance to bounce back from this defeat” | OneFootball

FC Porto was eliminated from the League Cup after losing at home to Vitória SC (1-3) in the quarter-finals. At the end of the match, Cláudio Ramos lamented the “three mistakes” that resulted in three goals and admitted that the team is “sad not to reach the final four of the League Cup, but wants to respond to this defeat in Sunday’s match” against CD Tondela, counting for the league. “We remain focused and, despite this defeat, the fans once again showed the strength of FC Porto,” emphasized the goalkeeper, reminding that the team is “still fighting on three fronts.”

Summary of the 90 minutes“With three mistakes, we conceded three goals. We had 22 shots against five, and only three of theirs were on target, all due to our mistakes. We played a good game, created plenty of chances, but if you don’t score, you risk conceding, and that’s what happened.”

Decisive penalties“After the goal, we continued to have chances and possession, but when you don’t finish and kill the game, situations like this can happen. We conceded two goals from penalties and made three mistakes. There’s not much more you can do after that.”

Looking ahead“There are a lot of games, it’s normal to have slip-ups. The team remains focused and the fans once again showed the strength of FC Porto and, despite this defeat, they know what awaits us for the rest of the season. We’re still fighting on many fronts, we want to win everything. We’re sad not to reach the final four of the League Cup, but on Sunday we have another match and a chance to respond to this defeat.”

Regarding the League Cup“It’s the competition we’ve won the least, but we don’t undervalue it. We prepared for the game as if it were the most important of the season, but there are days like this, when we’re punished for our mistakes and today we were eliminated because of three mistakes.”
