Barros and Wetl reunite at Dragão, relive title glory and 5-0 v Benfica | OneFootball

Estádio do Dragão was the setting for a special reunion between two figures closely tied to FC Porto’s history. Arnold Wetl and Rui Barros met again, recalling the 1996/97 season, when they helped the blue-and-white club win the national championship and the Super Cup.

The photo of the moment shows the two former champions side by side, in a symbolic return to a home they helped enrich. Rui Barros, one of the biggest names in FC Porto’s history, and Arnold Wetl, the Austrian midfielder who left his mark on that team, looked back on a successful season in the club’s journey.

In 1996/97, the Dragons ended the season by winning the national title and also triumphing in the Super Cup. In that edition of the competition, FC Porto thrashed Benfica 5-0, in a historic result against their rival, with Arnold Wetl among the scorers.

The reunion at the Dragão thus highlights the lasting bond former players have with the club and recalls a generation that left behind important titles and memorable moments in FC Porto’s honours list.
