Vítor Baía: “Some teams win trophies, others become immortal” | OneFootball

23 years ago, FC Porto lifted the UEFA Cup by defeating Celtic 3-2 in Seville after extra time. Vítor Baía, former goalkeeper of the blue-and-white club, made a point of marking the occasion on social media.

“There are victories that remain in the books. And there are others that stay in the soul of a club forever. Winning the UEFA Cup in 2003 was much more than a title. It was the beginning of a golden era, built on ambition, unity, talent, and an unwavering belief that together we could conquer the world,” he began by writing.

“The years have passed… but that night is still alive in all of us. Because there are teams that win trophies. And there are teams that enter eternity,” concluded the former Portugal international, who was at the Dragão Stadium for the last game of the season, in FC Porto’s 1-0 victory over Santa Clara, alongside João Pinto.
