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

Porto’s victory over Torreense (1-0), which secured the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, is still making headlines. After Francesco Farioli’s post-match remarks aimed at provoking Benfica, the Dragons once again addressed the tally of national and international titles, leaving a fresh message that promises to fuel the rivalry with the Eagles.

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 make a direct jab. "Porto was already the Portuguese club with the most official titles, but there were still those who stubbornly refused to acknowledge that fact. From now on, the deniers will have to try even harder: with yesterday’s Supertaça win, the National Champions now have 88 trophies and further expand the collection of the most richly stocked museum in the country", it reads.

The publication goes on with references to the victory achieved in Coimbra and the words of Porto’s coach. "After a great triumph 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 begin preparing for the start of the league".

The Italian coach also reinforced the symbolic importance of the triumph, leaving a message about the historic dispute between the two rivals. The remarks come at a time when the trophy count continues to generate differing interpretations between the clubs.
