After expressing “enormous pride in being a Porto supporter” at the end of the match in Nottingham, Diogo Costa took to social media to speak about the Europa League elimination in the quarter-finals.
“Tonight did not end the way we fought so hard for. But above all, it fills me with pride to look within and see this fighting spirit, this unity, and this commitment that never left us. That is what brought us here, and that is what continues to define who we are,” he wrote on Instagram.
“We are building a beautiful, solid journey, with identity and ambition. Immense pride in being part of this Porto nation. Thank you to all the supporters who were there,” added the goalkeeper.
With Bednarek sent off in the opening minutes, the Dragons lost 1-0, after the 1-1 draw at the Dragão, and saw their European campaign come to an end in 2025/26.
