Tiago Portugal celebrates FC Porto title: “Finally, time to celebrate” | OneFootball

With the under-15 title secured in Alverca thanks to a 5-1 win, FC Porto completed a clean sweep across the traditional tiers of Portuguese football, having already won the Primeira Liga, the under-19 and under-17 titles. Tiago Portugal scored twice, strengthened his status as the competition’s top scorer with 35 goals in as many matches, and said he felt “pride in captaining the team”, while also thanking “my family, the coaching staff and my teammates”.

Rodrigo Seca “congratulated an incredible group”, Paulo Leite described the moment as “a dream and a huge source of pride”, and Rodrigo Oliveira reminded everyone that there are still three points left to play for in the final round: “This season has been incredible, we’ve been a family from day one and we’re more united than ever. For now, our focus is on winning the last three points. The league isn’t over yet and there’s still work to do.”

Tiago Portugal explained: “I feel happy, we’ve had a great season, we worked very hard for this and the day to celebrate has finally arrived. It’s a source of pride to captain this team, and when we win it feels even greater. I already knew we had become national champions before taking the free-kick, I even celebrated with Paulo Leite, and then when I scored it was an enormous joy. I want to thank my family, who have always helped me with everything, the coaching staff and my teammates.”

Speaking to the club’s media, Rodrigo Seca said he was pleased. “We’re very happy, we fought for this all year. We just want to give thanks and celebrate. My teammates are incredible and we all deserve congratulations. The key to this title was always staying united and our ability to overcome challenges. We kept pushing ourselves throughout the season.”

Rodrigo Oliveira, meanwhile, pointed out that there is still one final objective to achieve. “I feel very happy because this is what we worked for throughout the year. It was the main objective this year and we managed to achieve it. This season has been incredible, we’ve been a family from day one and we’re more united than ever. For now, our focus is on winning the last three points. The league isn’t over yet and there’s still work to do.”

Paulo Leite said the group will “celebrate all night”. “It’s a dream and a huge source of pride. We fought very hard for this throughout the whole year. We always stayed united, because we knew that without unity we wouldn’t reach our objective. It was against everything and everyone. Now we’re going to celebrate all night.”
