1 June 2003: FC Porto signed off at Antas, 2-0 against Sporting | OneFootball

On June 1, 2003, FC Porto ended the season at the Antas with a 2-0 win over Sporting CP in a Portuguese League match played in Porto.

The image from that day became linked to a team group photo on the pitch, taken during the last match at the Antas in a hugely successful season for the Dragons. The game marked a campaign that had already secured the league title and the UEFA Cup, in a season that would later be completed with victory in the Portuguese Cup.

The win over Sporting reinforced the symbolic nature of the farewell to the historic Estádio das Antas during a particularly positive period in the club’s history. Against one of the main rivals in Portuguese football, FC Porto brought to a close at home a season of success both domestically and in Europe.

That 2-0 victory over the Lions therefore remains one of the standout moments of 2002/03: a farewell in a festive atmosphere, with the team gathered for the final photo in a stadium that marked generations and in a season that remains unforgettable for Porto supporters.
