Miguel Layún: “Seeing FC Porto win the title is always good” | OneFootball

Miguel Layún remembers with particular fondness the two and a half seasons he spent at FC Porto. In his last season wearing the dragon on his chest, in 2017/18, he left the club during the winter transfer window to join Sevilla, but still finished the season as a champion and received the medal for the national title won by the team coached by Sérgio Conceição.

The Mexican, who made 80 appearances for FC Porto, told A BOLA that he was pleased with the dragons’ return to winning titles. “Seeing FC Porto as champions is always a good thing. I was very happy to see a club with so much history and such incredible fans achieve the goal of becoming champions. Returning to the place that FC Porto and its fans deserve is the most beautiful thing anyone can see,” he said.

The former full-back, signed from Watford in 2015, has since taken on the role of the blue-and-white club’s ambassador in Mexico. “For me, becoming the club’s ambassador here in Mexico has been very rewarding. I have a great love for the club, and so does my family. It is a very big club, where Mexican players found an opportunity to arrive, make a name for themselves in European football and help FC Porto. It has been one of the best experiences of my life. It is a huge responsibility, I’m happy to be part of the club and I really want to help make very good things happen here in Mexico.”

“I’m very close to the club. I have a great love for it because it was a home for me, for my wife, for my children. Even Marcelo, who is my second son, was born in Porto. For us, it is another home. We continue trying to follow the club very closely and it is beautiful to know that the club is doing things very well, with André Villas-Boas as president, and with the players and coach they have,” he added.
