Miguel Layún: “Seeing FC Porto win the title is always good” | OneFootball

Miguel Layún remembers with special fondness the two and a half seasons he spent at FC Porto. In his last season wearing the dragons’ shirt, in 2017/18, he left the club during the winter transfer window to join Sevilla, but still finished the season as a champion and received the medal for the national title won by the team coached by Sérgio Conceição.

The Mexican, who played 80 matches for FC Porto, told A BOLA he was pleased to see the dragons return to winning titles. “Seeing FC Porto as champions is always a good thing. I was very happy to see a club with so much history and such incredible fans achieve the goal of becoming champions. Returning to the place FC Porto and its supporters deserve is the most beautiful thing anyone can see,” he said.

The former full-back, signed from Watford in 2015, has since taken on the role of ambassador for the blue-and-white club in Mexico. “For me, becoming the club’s ambassador here in Mexico has been very rewarding. I have a great love for the club, and so does my family. It is a very big club, where Mexican players found an opportunity to arrive, make a name for themselves in European football, and help FC Porto. It has been one of the best experiences of my life. It is a huge responsibility, and I am happy to be part of the club and very eager to help do very good things here in Mexico.”

“I remain very close to the club. I have a great love for it because it was a home for me, for my wife, and for my children. Even Marcelo, my second son, was born in Porto. For us, it is another home. We continue trying to follow the club very closely, and it is wonderful to know that the club is doing things very well, with André Villas-Boas as president, and with the players and coach they have,” he also stressed.
