Cláudio Ramos gives honest verdict: “It didn’t always go to plan” | OneFootball

Cláudio Ramos ended the season in FC Porto service with five appearances, two of them in the league, a record enough to earn him a place on the list of 33 players crowned national champions with the Dragons in 2025/26. At the close of the season, the goalkeeper took to social media to give a personal and collective assessment of a journey that culminated in winning the title.

“Another season comes to an end. Collectively, we went on a great journey, full of unity, commitment and moments that will stay in the memory. Enormous pride in this team and in everything we achieved together,” he began, highlighting the group’s strength throughout the season.

From an individual point of view, Cláudio Ramos admitted that not everything went as he had imagined, in a season in which he once again took on a more secondary role in Porto’s goal. Even so, he viewed the journey as part of the process of growth. “Things did not always go as I imagined, but football is also made up of these moments of learning, overcoming and growth. Sometimes we cannot achieve everything we envision, but every experience brings an opportunity to evolve and come back stronger,” he stressed.

The goalkeeper also left a message of thanks to the entire club structure and the fans, underlining the importance of their support throughout the season. “I want to thank all my teammates, coaches, staff, board and, of course, everyone who was always there supporting us throughout the season. In the good moments, as well as in the less good ones, the support made all the difference,” he said.

In his final note, Cláudio Ramos had a special word for Tondela, the club he represented for several seasons before moving to FC Porto: “Football is sometimes harsh and relegation hurts, but a club’s greatness is seen in the way it gets back up. I am sure they will return stronger.”

He also highlighted Jorge Costa. “A very special word for our eternal Jorge Costa! His example, leadership and passion will remain with us forever. This achievement is also his. We did it together,” he wrote.
