Porto’s title celebrations continue to make waves off the pitch. This time, it was Zaidu Sanusi who took to social media to respond to Frederico Varandas’ remarks, with Sporting’s president’s comments not going unnoticed by fans.

In a TikTok “carousel” of images from the celebrations, the full-back used as the audio track words previously spoken by the Sporting official, in which he criticised the rival club and André Villas-Boas: "I see the Porto president as very afraid. He was a coach, he looks at the pitch and sees the same thing I see, and he thinks his team won’t make it to become champions. They won’t make it! That’s his fear, they play little, they play very little".

The post follows a night of celebrations marked by several jabs at the green-and-white camp, with Varandas and Pedro Gonçalves also among the main targets of the references made by Porto’s players.

It is worth remembering that Gabri Veiga was also directly focused on Sporting. At the bandstand of the Estádio do Dragão, the player was one of the main figures after taking the microphone and recalling statements previously made in the context of the Portuguese Cup, in a similar ‘tone’ to what Pote did after winning the back-to-back title and using Varandas’ words.

"They said we were very afraid... That we played very little... They said that next year, playing in the Champions League, it wouldn’t work out... They said the president [André Villas-Boas] knew we wouldn’t make it because he was a coach. But here we are, f******, Porto is back!", he said.
