“First of all, a word to the family of our former president, as it has been a year since he passed away.”

Regarding the match, Bernardo expressed feeling mixed emotions but praised the group's merit:

“It's a bittersweet feeling because I think we deserved this draw. In the second half, it was just us, we worked immensely, and I think the draw is fair.”

The Porto team was trailing 2-1 but remained engaged until the end. For the under-17 international, this response capability reflects the recent progress of the team:

“We have been growing, that's the most important thing, we've been working hard every day, every training session, and I think that's what's been helping us earn more points and climb up the table.”

Bernardo also acknowledged the challenge posed by the opponent and valued the point obtained:

“We know that Leiria was a very challenging team, with very experienced players. We are a young team and still growing, but I think above all we played a good game and we leave here with a point.”

Asked about his trajectory after being highlighted by the National Under-17 Team and now scoring in a professional context, the player maintained a work-oriented discourse:

“I want to keep working. I know I still have a lot to improve, I have to work hard. Those were very special moments with the national team, I'm very happy, but now my focus is to be working here at the club and help the club grow a lot.”

With maturity and team spirit, Bernardo Lima confirms himself as one of the emerging figures of FC Porto B, in a journey that consolidates match after match.
