Roberto Carlos: “FC Porto has always been a big influence in my life” | OneFootball

Roberto Carlos comments at the World Cup trophy exhibition at Estádio do Dragão

Return to the Dragão: “I want to thank the club for opening its doors so I could come back here. In my time, FC Porto played at Estádio das Antas, but the club is still the same. Winning the World Cup is still a great source of joy for me, and even today I get emotional when I lift the trophy that every national team wants to win. I hope Brazil can reach the final. It’s been a wonderful day here in Portugal.”

Iconic football figure: “The memories are the best possible, I always say that FC Porto has always been a reference in my life. The matches I played against FC Porto always brought me a lot of luck, the last one I think was for Fenerbahçe and I don’t remember the result anymore, but I remember it was a beautiful game to watch. Fenerbahçe was in a growth phase, wanting to become someone, and FC Porto was already a club with a lot of history. Those were unforgettable moments in my life.”

World Cup or Champions League? “Of course, winning a Champions League is important, the Champions is a reference, but winning the World Cup representing my country will always come first.”
