Statements from FC Porto's coach, Francesco Farioli, in the press room of Estádio do Dragão, after the 2-0 victory against Stuttgart, which secured passage to the Europa League quarter-finals:

With Diogo Costa, FC Porto risks winning everything:

«We take it game by game. In my opinion, we are talking about one of the top three goalkeepers in the world. In this match, I think he demonstrated it defensively, with the ball, and above all, through his personality, leadership, and ability to always stay connected to the game, whether in shots, aerial duels, or how he played with his feet. It is a privilege to have a goalkeeper of this caliber, especially as captain. We can't ask for more. As for the second part of the question, we have a hugely important game this weekend. It is a team of great quality, playing good football, and the coach is doing an excellent job. I like the way they play; it's a physical team that covers the greatest distances in the game. It will demand the maximum from a physical standpoint, and I believe it will be similar to these two games with Stuttgart. Step by step.»
