FC Porto channels ‘Lord of the Rings’ to hype clash with… Froholdt | OneFootball

Just a few days before the Clássico against Benfica, FC Porto once again used social media to build anticipation for the clash with their rivals, following a trend that has marked the current season: recreating posters of well-known films.

For the 7th round Liga showdown, the inspiration came from the first chapter of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. “The Fellowship of the Dragon,” reads the post by the national champions, with Victor Froholdt as the central figure.

The Danish midfielder appears in the role originally assigned to the hobbit Frodo, an allusion reinforced by the similarity between their names. Froholdt is still recovering from the concussion he suffered on September 4 against Moreirense.

According to FC Porto, the player is still training under restrictions, but he is expected to recover in time to be available for Francesco Farioli in the match against Benfica.

Besides Froholdt, the poster also includes other standout players such as Gabri Veiga, Alberto, Bednarek, Diogo Costa, Pepê and Santiago Gimenez. “Rise up, sons of the Dragon. On Sunday, there is a timeless Clássico,” writes FC Porto.
