Tiago Portugal caps golden FC Porto season, 36 goals in 36 games | OneFootball

Among the national titles FC Porto celebrated last season, the last to be placed in the club museum’s display cases was the under-15 title, confirmed in mid-June. The standout figure in that triumph was Tiago Portugal, a 15-year-old striker from Escariz, who scored no fewer than 36 goals in… 36 matches.

With such clinical finishing, the blue-and-white centre-forward naturally ended up as the top scorer in the national under-15 championship and, speaking to the club’s media, reflected on the season.

“It was a season of great happiness, in which I contributed to the team’s success. But the credit belongs to the whole team and my teammates, who help me work every day,” assured Tiago Portugal.

“A feeling of great pride [for the title]; we had that goal from the start of the season. We worked very hard and achieved it,” continued the young forward, who also revealed the players he looks up to.

“Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Kane. Cristiano because he’s my childhood idol, Kane because he has my style of play,” explained Tiago, who, already looking ahead to 2026/27, left a promise to the Porto faithful: “I’ll try to do better, keep working. We’ll see.”
