FC Porto unstoppable, now enjoying their second-best league start ever | OneFootball

FC Porto remains at the top of the championship and, match after match, strengthens its claim to the title. Yesterday, the blue and whites secured another victory in Alverca – their 14th win in 15 matches – bringing their total to 43 points out of a possible 45.

Only the draw against Benfica prevented this start to the season from being absolutely perfect and, simultaneously, historic. Had they beaten the Eagles at Dragão, FC Porto would have equaled the best record of the competition after 15 games, achieved precisely by the Luz emblem in 1972/73. Therefore, Farioli's team occupies second place in that regard.

Moreover, this start also represents a change compared to 2024/25. Compared to the previous season, the Dragons have five more points and in that season only reached their 14th victory by the 22nd matchday. It should be noted that last Christmas the blue and whites had 37 points – six less than now – and were in third, one point behind the lead.

Francesco Farioli arrived, won, and placed himself alongside historical figures of FC Porto in several aspects. Besides leading the team to the best start ever for the club in the championship, the coach became one of those with the most wins in the first 25 games across all competitions, with a total of 21.

Only Artur Jorge, António Oliveira, and André Villas-Boas, the current president of the blue and whites, achieved a superior performance, with 22 victories in the same period. These are names of great significance in the history of the Dragons.
