“We did it, mum. Always with us”: Borja Sainz tribute moves Dragão | OneFootball

Borja Sainz marked the championship triumph with an emotional tribute 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 experienced 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 came to sum up 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 take a temporary leave to return 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 supporters 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 celebration therefore carried particularly deep 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.
