Cláudio Ramos: “Wearing the armband at this club is always an honour” | OneFootball

FC Porto confirmed their favoritism by beating CD Celoricense (4-0) at the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, securing a place in the 4th round of the Portuguese Cup. Making his official debut in 2025/26 and already as captain, Cláudio Ramos emphasized that the Dragons were “serious and humble” in a match that was decided “in the second half.” “Now we have a series of away games and we’re counting on the support of our fans,” appealed the Porto goalkeeper.

Match summary“CD Celoricense came in with energy and everyone was switched on, they didn’t give us much space. We scored in the first half; we wanted to go into halftime with a bigger lead, but we didn’t due to CD Celoricense’s merit. In the second half we wrapped up the game and the result.”

Humility and focus“These are the kinds of games where we have to be humble, very serious, and keep our feet firmly on the ground. We were serious and humble and achieved the goal of getting through this round.”

Captain between the posts“Wearing the armband is always an honor, and at a club like FC Porto even more so. Even though I’m not a starter, it’s a recognition of my importance in the dressing room, and it’s a pride to be part of the group of captains, for everything we’ve been through in the past and the way this season is going. Now we have a series of away games and we’re counting on the support of our fans.”

Looking ahead“Last season is over, it no longer matters. What matters is the present and the future. Now we have an important Europa League match, but you can feel the energy this year. The guys who came off the bench were very important. Everyone’s effort and energy are essential.”
