Stephen Eustáquio remained on the FC Porto bench, but supported Farioli throughout the match.

The value of collective effort and substitutes: “It was definitely a tough game against a team that, as I said in the preview, was well-coached, had quality, and physicality in open play. A very important result and performance because of our resilience. I spoke about those who came on, and today Gabri [Veiga] provided an assist, Borja [Sainz] scored the goal, and let me also mention Eustáquio, who from the bench acted like my assistant, talking and supporting… It’s hard to describe my gratitude for having these players, even those who play a bit less, for the way they behave and help the team grow and get better every day.”
