“We settled the debate over Portugal’s most decorated club” | OneFootball

FC Porto lifted their 25th Super Cup by beating SCU Torreense 1-0 at the Cidade de Coimbra Stadium and “put an end to the debate over which club is the most decorated in Portugal”. After “a very difficult match”, coach Francesco Farioli stressed that “the circumstances were complicated, but the result was very important”, allowing them to achieve “a great accomplishment” in front of “fans who created a great atmosphere”. “The most important thing was to win and we did, so now it’s time to celebrate and then we’ll focus on the start of the league season,” he said on the pitch at the Cidade de Coimbra Stadium.

Debate over“Winning the Super Cup was a great achievement in itself, but with this trophy we now have 88 and have put an end to the debate over which club is the most decorated in Portugal. Great atmosphere in front of our fans in a very difficult match. I give a lot of credit to SCU Torreense for the way they were organised and for the quality of their players. They have a very physical team and made life difficult for us. The most important thing was to win and we did, so now it’s time to celebrate and then we’ll focus on the start of the league season.”

A demanding match“We expected SCU Torreense to be competitive, but sometimes the match takes different turns and manages to surprise us. During the first three minutes we couldn’t win the ball back or get it out of our half of the pitch. That made us realise the match was going to be very complicated, but then we managed to gain ground and unlock a game that was not easy to play on this pitch. We had Bednarek’s injury, which we hope is not serious, but it changed the match. Tomorrow we will have to reassess. The circumstances were complicated, but the result was very important.”

Diogo Costa “I know this will be a topic until the end of the transfer window. Every hour new reports come out. I’ve already spoken about it and I have nothing more to add.”
