Not even philosophy explains Saturday night: “It doesn’t help me…” | OneFootball

“My Philosophy degree doesn’t help me describe the magnitude of what we experienced. Only the people who were there to live it felt it the way we did,” said Farioli, referring to the huge title celebrations, convinced that those on the outside do not understand the weight clubs like Ajax and FC Porto carry.

“Going to the museum and hearing the history of this club, and the way people explain what it means to all Porto supporters, was something I really didn’t want to miss. That helped us gain a few extra metres on the pitch which, at a certain point, became decisive,” he stressed, acknowledging that, in the final minutes before the title was confirmed, the last two seasons crossed his mind: “You can’t imagine how much I wanted to cross that line. You just want to bring ‘la barca in porto’. And I don’t think there’s a better translation: ‘the boat to port’.”

When he was asked to choose a photograph from the season, he did not hesitate to point to two: “Fofana’s goal in Braga, for the energy to keep fighting; and, during the celebrations here at the stadium, when we became champions and the whole team ran towards me.”
