Porto taunt Benfica again after Super Cup triumph: the deniers… | OneFootball

Porto’s victory over Torreense (1-0), which secured the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup, is still making headlines. After Francesco Farioli’s post-match remarks provoking Benfica, the Dragons once again addressed the count of domestic and international titles, sending a new message that promises to fuel the rivalry with the Reds.

In the official newsletter "Dragões Diário", the blue-and-white club highlighted that it now has 88 trophies, surpassing Benfica’s 87, and took the opportunity to deliver a direct jab. "Porto was already the Portuguese club with the most official titles, but there were still those who stubbornly refused to accept that fact. From now on, the deniers will have to try even harder: with yesterday’s Super Cup win, the National Champions now have 88 trophies and further add to the collection of the most richly stocked Museum in the country", it reads.

The publication goes on with references to the triumph achieved in Coimbra and the words of the Porto coach. "After a great achievement in difficult circumstances, Francesco Farioli spoke of a very important result and pointed to the main objective of the season. Winning was essential and we managed it, so now it is time to celebrate and then we will start preparing for the start of the League".

The Italian coach also reinforced the symbolic importance of the title, leaving a message about the historic dispute between the two rivals. "I am pleased to put an end to the discussion over which is the most decorated club in Portugal". The comments come at a time when the trophy count continues to generate different interpretations between the clubs.

With this new stance, Porto once again puts Benfica in the spotlight. The debate promises to continue throughout the season, in a rivalry that has long gone beyond the results on the pitch.
