Borja Sainz marked the title win with an emotional dedication 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 lived through pain and resilience.

On the pitch at the Estádio do Dragão, Borja celebrated alongside his father in one of the most symbolic moments of Porto’s celebrations. The image of the embrace between them ended up capturing the special meaning of this triumph for the FC Porto player.

Borja Sainz’s season was inevitably marked by the loss of his mother, which led him to be temporarily absent as he returned to Spain. During that period, the winger missed the home match against Rio Ave, a game in the 24th round of the Primeira Liga, played on 28 February at the Estádio do Dragão, which FC Porto won 3-1. In that match, Porto fans showed their support for the player.

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

The title celebrations therefore had a particularly profound meaning for the Spanish player, who experienced one of the most difficult moments of his career at the same time as a season that ended in celebration.
