FC Porto matched Benfica in the classic 8th round of the League, and this Monday, several elements of the dragons shared their reactions to the 0-0 draw at the Estádio do Dragão on social media.

Borja Sainz emphasized the value of adding another point to Porto's journey. "We wanted the victory, but this point allows us to continue up there. Thank you all for the support, we continue together!", wrote the Spanish winger.

His compatriot Samu also considered that victory would have been ideal: "We gave everything to achieve the victory, but it was not possible. Proud of the team for the effort and grateful to the fans for the unconditional support. We continue together towards our goals!", said the striker.

Pepê, a figure of greater experience in the squad, highlighted the milestone reached with the blue and white jersey: "Honored to be able to complete 200 games with this jersey! A very special achievement for me, and that motivates me even more to be better every day, and always strive to give my life for Porto! It was not the result we wanted and deserved for what we did and delivered to the game. It has never been and will never be easy, we must continue united and focused game by game, in search of what are our goals!", underlined the Brazilian international.

The team captain, Diogo Costa, who has since joined the National Team, was more succinct: "Pride in this team. We continue together and focused".

FC Porto returns to competition on October 18, when they visit Celoricense in the 3rd round of the Portuguese Cup, in Barcelos.
