Diego Ribas has returned to Porto more than 20 years on, taking in the clássico against Benfica, which finished 3-1, and visiting the club museum. The former midfielder, who won the Intercontinental Cup, the Supertaça, the Taça de Portugal and a league title with the club, shared an emotional message on social media.

The player said in a post that Porto were the club that trusted him when he came to Europe chasing a dream, and that wearing the shirt was a privilege. He added that winning the Intercontinental Cup made him part of the club’s history.

The visit left him struck by how alive the club’s history remains, from revisiting the trophy to discovering how vividly people recall that triumph.

He was warmly received by the president, staff and supporters, revisiting places and reliving memories that brought a sense of mission accomplished.

He feels increasingly attached to Portugal, its culture and to a club that holds a central place in his story, and he takes pride in his place in Porto’s story.
