“We did it, Mum, always with us”: Borja Sainz stirs the Dragão | OneFootball

Borja Sainz marked the championship win with an emotional tribute to his mother, who passed away during the season. “We did it, Mum. Always with us,” wrote the Spanish winger, in a message shaped by the personal weight of a title experienced through both pain and resilience.

On the pitch at the Dragão Stadium, Borja celebrated alongside his father, in one of the most symbolic moments of Porto’s celebrations. The image of the two embracing came to sum up the special meaning this triumph held for the FC Porto player.

Borja Sainz’s season was inevitably marked by the loss of his mother, which led him to take a temporary leave and return to Spain. During that period, the winger missed the home match against Rio Ave, a 24th-round Primeira Liga fixture played on 28 February at the Dragão Stadium, which FC Porto won 3-1. In that match, Porto supporters made a show of support for the player.

Now, with FC Porto already confirmed as national champions following a 1-0 win over Alverca at the Dragão Stadium, Borja Sainz shared a tribute message that highlighted the more human side of sporting success during the celebrations at the match against Santa Clara.

The title celebration therefore carried particularly deep meaning for the Spanish player, who went through one of the most difficult moments of his career while also experiencing a season that ended in celebration.
