Statements from FC Porto's coach, Francesco Farioli, in the press room at Estádio do Dragão, after the 2-0 victory against Stuttgart, which secured a place in the Europa League quarter-finals:

With Diogo Costa, FC Porto could win it all:

“We take it game by game. In my opinion, we are talking about one of the three best goalkeepers in the world. In this match, I think he showed it defensively, with the ball, and above all, through his personality, leadership, and ability to always stay connected to the game, whether it’s in shots, aerial duels, or the way he played with his feet. It’s a privilege to have a goalkeeper of this caliber, especially as captain. We couldn’t ask for more. As for the second part of your question, we have an extremely important match this weekend. It’s a team of great quality, that plays good football, and the coach is doing an excellent job. I like the way they play; it’s a physical side, that covers the most distance in the game. It will demand the maximum from us physically, and I believe it will be similar to these two games against Stuttgart. Step by step.”
