The Uruguayan swapped Benfica for FC Porto and became champion at the Dragão, helping to end Benfica’s title reign in 2017/18.

He brought grit to that triumph and says he identifies strongly with the club’s blue and white culture.

Pereira also compares that title-winning side with the current Porto team.
