After the 1-0 defeat at Alvalade, in a controversial first leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, the president of FC Porto stood by the blue and white team and returned with them by plane to Invicta.
The president of FC Porto was seen at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport at 1:47 a.m. this Wednesday. It was the club’s multi-sport team bus that transported the squad to Estádio do Dragão, since the main team’s vehicle was still making its way back from Lisbon to Porto.
According to information gathered by our newspaper, in the personal vehicle of André Villas-Boas—which was reportedly fined for speeding on the A8, as reported by Correio da Manhã—were, besides the security guard, vice-president João Borges.
After the defeat and with Sunday’s classic against Benfica already scheduled, André Villas-Boas chose to accompany the team and did not leave their side at any moment during the return to Invicta.
