23 years ago, FC Porto lifted the UEFA Cup after beating Celtic 3-2 in Seville, after extra time. Vítor Baía, former goalkeeper of the blue-and-white club, made sure to mark the achievement on social media.
“There are victories that remain in the history books. And there are others that stay in the soul of a club forever. Winning the UEFA Cup in 2003 was much more than a title. It was the beginning of a golden era, built on ambition, unity, talent, and an unshakable belief that together we could conquer the world,” he began by writing.
“The years have passed… but that night is still alive in all of us. Because there are teams that win trophies. And there are teams that become eternal,” concluded the former Portugal international, who was at the Dragão Stadium for the last game of the season, in FC Porto’s 1-0 win over Santa Clara, alongside João Pinto.
