Tiago Portugal ends golden season at FC Porto with 36 goals in 36 games | OneFootball

Among the haul of national titles FC Porto celebrated last season, the last one 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 goes to the whole team and my teammates, who help me work every day,” said 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 we achieved it,” continued the young forward, who 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 for the Porto faithful: “I’ll try to do better, keep working. We’ll see.”
