A meeting of present and history | OneFootball

FC Porto organized a visit to the Museum aimed at introducing the history of the Club to the main football squad. After another morning of work at Olival, the footballers and technical team toured the 27 thematic areas and got to know the nearly 132 years of the emblem founded in 1893.

In the Fernando Sardoeira Pinto Auditorium, side by side with the footballers who had the privilege of representing "a special and different Club from the others", André Villas-Boas left them a message: "We are all passengers at FC Porto, but while we are here we will honor this great institution".

In the Museum's atrium - next to the European Champions Cup trophies, the two Intercontinental Cups, the European Super Cup, the UEFA Cup, the Champions League and the Europa League -, the athletes were greeted by João Pinto, Rui Barros, Paulinho Santos and Lucho González.

João Pinto addressed "a team à Porto" to give "congratulations for the attitude" and assure that "all fans identify" with a work group "closer to winning than before".

Rui Barros, hero of so many victories and former locker room companion of the eternal captain, recalled the times when they both shared the locker room at Antas: "The mystique is not bought. It was felt in the intensity of our training and day to day."

Paulinho Santos, another Club legend and regular presence at CTFD PortoGaia, made a point of praising the commitment of those who work there daily: "It's been a pleasure to watch you play. The mystique is that". "A player à Porto serves FC Porto. We give our best for the Club and we have to be much better than the others to win", added the current assistant coach of the "b's".

Lucho González, counterpart of team A, corroborated the words of the former players who also make up the Porto staff and stated that "whoever is here is because they have all the values that FC Porto represents. Not only the Club but the city".
