A meeting of the present and history | OneFootball

FC Porto organized a visit to the Museum aimed at introducing the Club’s history to the main football squad. After another morning of work at Olival, the players and technical staff toured the 27 themed areas and learned about the nearly 132 years of the emblem founded in 1893.

In the Fernando Sardoeira Pinto Auditorium, side by side with the footballers who had the privilege of representing “a special Club, different from the rest,” André Villas-Boas left them a message: “We are all just passing through at FC Porto, but while we are here, we will honor this great institution.”

In the Museum’s atrium – next to the European Cup trophies, the two Intercontinental Cups, the European Super Cup, the UEFA Cup, the Champions League, and the Europa League – the athletes were welcomed by João Pinto, Rui Barros, Paulinho Santos, and Lucho González.

João Pinto addressed “a true Porto team” to congratulate them “for their attitude” and assured that “all the fans see themselves” in a group that is “closer to winning than before.”

Rui Barros, hero of so many victories and former locker room companion of the eternal captain, recalled the times when they shared the Antas locker room: “Mystique can’t be bought. You could feel it in the intensity of our training sessions and in our daily lives.”

Paulinho Santos, another Club legend and a regular presence at CTFD PortoGaia, made a point of praising the commitment of those who work there every day: “It’s been a pleasure to watch you play. That’s what mystique is.” “A true Porto player serves FC Porto. We give our best for the Club and we have to be much better than the others to win,” added the current assistant coach of the “B” team.

Lucho González, counterpart of the A team, echoed the words of the former players who are also part of Porto’s staff and stated that “those who are here have all the values that FC Porto represents. Not just the Club, but the city as well.”
