William Gomes shares note he began after Europa League exit | OneFootball

William Gomes took to social media this Sunday to share a message about winning the championship, revealing that he wrote it during the flight back to Porto, after the Europa League elimination against Nottingham Forest. The Brazilian winger admits that, since the start of the season, he had been convinced that the Dragons would eventually be crowned champions.

“Champions. I could have started writing this text on the first day of the 2025/2026 season, because I was convinced from day one that we would be champions. But I am writing this text after an elimination (Europa League). After an elimination, many doubts arise, except the feeling that we are not going to be champions. Right now, we are on the plane back to Porto, for our last five battles in the league and two in the cup, and the feeling I have is that I am privileged to be surrounded by resilient, hardworking people and, above all, winners and champions. They were challenges, battles and wars that made us strong at every moment throughout this season. I am very proud of everything we built during this season. There were days of sweat, pain, resilience, joy, sadness and tiredness, but days that gave us 100% certainty that we would be champions. We knew the path would not be perfect, but we knew the final destination would be becoming champions. It was for Jorge Costa, it was for us and it was for all of you. And the text ends with the same word it began with: champions,” reads the Brazilian winger’s post.
