Living yet another “unforgettable day” in “a beautiful story” that will continue to be written “at the level FC Porto deserves to be, which is in the Liga BPI,” the National Champions of the women’s Second Division showed “pride” in the “historic achievement” they reached and explained that “being a National Champion for FC Porto is something that cannot be described, it has to be lived,” while also reminding everyone that “a Porto fan only thinks about what comes next, and many good things are still to come”: “We exceeded expectations. We did things in a big way, we did not take any wrong steps, and even more is yet to come.”

Maria Negrão“I never imagined this. It’s a good thing it happened; it feels even better when you’re not expecting it. It is an unforgettable day for me and for FC Porto. I had been hoping for this since I signed, I have been a loyal FC Porto supporter since I was little, and this means a lot to me. Now it’s time to enjoy it and then keep writing a beautiful story. I think we are a very young team and nobody expected us to reach the Portuguese Cup final and beat First Division teams. This is a historic achievement that nobody was expecting. We exceeded expectations.”

Ema Gonçalves“Special as always, even more so wearing this shirt. It was the fulfillment of the goal we had set ourselves, earlier than expected, which shows all the work we did throughout the season and the way we pushed ourselves in the dressing room. It has been an excellent season, which is not over yet, but this is one objective completed and it is a source of pride to be National Champion with FC Porto once again. It all happened very quickly; sometimes I feel there is not even time to enjoy it. Living all this as a Porto fan is very special. We are already in the Liga BPI and, of course, a Porto fan only thinks about what comes next. Whatever comes next is good; it is still early to talk about it, but many good things are still to come.”

Angeline da Costa“It is a very special moment. Being a National Champion for FC Porto is something that cannot be described, it can only be lived. I did not think much about the captain’s armband; I am captain naturally because I like helping my teammates. It is true that it brings more responsibility, but I do not think much about it. We managed to put FC Porto at the level it deserves to be, which is in the Liga BPI. We did things in a big way, we did not take any wrong steps, and even more is yet to come.”
