“FC Porto won't let this chance slip and will be worthy champions” | OneFootball

FC Porto are getting closer and closer to winning the Liga Portugal Betclic title.

The Dragons beat Tondela 2-0 in the 30th round of the league, after Sporting lost to Benfica, a result that worked in their favour.

There is now a seven-point gap to Benfica and an eight-point lead over Sporting, with only 12 points still up for grabs.

Diogo Valente believes in FC Porto’s title chances

Diogo Valente, a former FC Porto player, admitted in an interview with Antena 1 that FC Porto will not let this opportunity slip away.

“Everything is going FC Porto’s way and I don’t think they will waste this opportunity because you can see that FC Porto are becoming the FC Porto of old again. Very consistent, you can feel that the group is united and there is a very strong structure.”

The former winger, who ended his career last weekend at Sport Comércio e Salgueiros, believes that “FC Porto will end up being worthy champions” because of the “consistency they have shown since the start of the season, and the unity that has been felt from the beginning.”

FC Porto’s consistency contrasts with Sporting

Sporting, at certain moments of the season, may even have shown more quality in their play, but FC Porto have been far more consistent, with more direct football, impressive physical intensity, discipline, and defensive solidity, which have been the secret of this Farioli FC Porto.”

FC Porto will face Sporting next Wednesday, 22 April, in the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-final, with the Lions holding a one-goal advantage earned at Alvalade.
