“Representing this club always brings a unique feeling” | OneFootball

Raquel Martinho brought to the Museum the trophies she won in the women’s eLiga Portugal and eLiga Cup eSports competitions, describing the moment as the ideal conclusion to a season of great significance. Alongside the recognition for the work done throughout the campaign and the symbolism of competing in blue and white, the player also highlighted the special value of her connection to Diogo Jota’s team. In the end, the idea was summed up in one simple and powerful sentence, with a clear assurance: “It was a unique and incredible year.”

After the ceremony, there was a calm celebratory atmosphere, with the trophies displayed in the Museum symbolising a season that Raquel Martinho considered fully accomplished. Known in the gaming world as Raquelty, the athlete placed greater importance on the collective effort and the journey built through hard work than on the individual spotlight of the moment, underlining the merit of a path validated by titles.

In light of the distinction achieved, Raquel Martinho was invited to reflect on the meaning of that symbolic gesture: seeing the season recognised in the place where the club preserves its history. Her response came with gratitude and a clear awareness that the moment held value both for what it celebrated and for the journey that made it possible.

“It is always recognition of a successful season, with two national titles – the Liga Portugal and Federation ones – and the conclusion of great work by me, my coach and my teammates throughout the whole season,” she said. “It is always good to be here in the Museum.”

In the player’s words, a very clear reading of the season emerges: success as a shared result rather than an isolated trophy. The Museum thus takes on a role that is more than just a celebratory setting, also serving as the final point of a process that the athlete is keen to associate with the structure that supported her.

When the conversation turned to the meaning of representing FC Porto and the partnership with Diogo Jota’s team, the tone became more emotional. The achievement was no longer just a sporting assessment but also an affirmation of belonging.

“It was a unique and incredible year,” she said. “Representing this Club and winning always brings a unique feeling, even more so because we have this partnership with Diogo Jota’s team and can win for him.”

In this message, the weight of the badge intersects with an additional motivation, giving the season a dimension that goes beyond the simple sum of titles. It is this combination of success, identity and meaning that helps explain why Raquel Martinho spoke of a year to remember.
