Afurada opens its heart and awaits Villas-Boas as Porto celebrate title | OneFootball

Afurada is revelling in FC Porto’s title, yet the riverside community still longs for a salute from the champions.

According to O Jogo, locals hope for a visit from the team and Villas-Boas, saying they also like him a lot, after the victory parade did not pass through the picturesque village.

Families speak of mixed feelings, joy at the trophy and an appetite for more in what they see as a new era.

Porto colours hang from almost every balcony, the flags doubling as a welcome for tourists drawn to the neighbourhood.

Supporters believe a stop in Afurada would send the crowd into delirium in a place where backing Porto is worn proudly.

At the Casa do FC Porto da Afurada, they reflect on what has been won, the drought ended, and hope for a perfect celebration to come.
