The ‘blue and whites’ got the better of Gil Vicente in the battle for the ‘target’, in a campaign in which the Gilistas, despite a drop in form in the second half of the season (22 points, compared to 28 in the first), picked up 16 more points than in the previous campaign (50 against 34).
With this improvement, FC Porto climbed from third to first place and won a title that had eluded them since 2021/22, while the Barcelos side jumped seven places, from 13th to sixth, making them the team that improved the most in this ‘department’.
Curiously, Sporting (82 points) and Benfica (80) finished with the same points tally as last season, but both dropped one place in the table, overtaken by FC Porto: the ‘Lions’ went from first to second, missing out on the ‘three-peat’, and the ‘Eagles’ fell from second to third, waving goodbye to the ‘Champions’.
