João Pinto, Porto irony on Jamor: “Learnt padel with Sporting stones” | OneFootball

João Pinto recalled one of the most memorable episodes in FC Porto’s history at Jamor, in a conversation with Aloísio and Rui Barros, as he revisited the famous climb up the stairs after winning the Portuguese Cup against Sporting.

The former Porto captain recalled the atmosphere of that day and made a statement loaded with symbolism and irony about what happened after the final. “I learned to play padel at Jamor, hitting the cup against the stones those Sporting guys were throwing at us,” he said, referring to the moment when people linked to the opposition attacked FC Porto players with stones after Porto’s victory.

The Jamor staircase remains one of the most iconic images of Portuguese Cup triumphs, and João Pinto’s account brings back a more tense side of that celebration, in a context of great rivalry between the two clubs.

In the conversation, shared in a spirit of memory and Porto identity, João Pinto joined two historic club figures, Aloísio and Rui Barros, to revisit episodes that marked generations of fans and players.

The testimony reinforces the symbolic weight of that final and everything surrounding the triumph, on a stage that continues to hold a special place in the history of Portuguese football and FC Porto.
