The FC Porto Museum recently hosted a special event. André Villas-Boas, a familiar face in football circles, was there. He came to accept several trophies. These awards honored the club’s achievements across different sports. Success wasn’t just found on the main pitch. It stretched to veteran football, goalball, and even eSports.
Villas-Boas made sure to highlight the victory of the FC Porto Legends team. They faced fierce rivals Benfica in the Legends League final. This big game took place in Nazaré. He spoke about the memorable moments. “Our legends knew me when I was very young,” Villas-Boas shared, as quoted by the club’s own website. “But they still have that youthful spirit.”
He joked about a key moment early in the match. “Bruno Alves made a two-footed tackle just 30 seconds in,” Villas-Boas recalled. “That certainly sent a clear message.” It showed the competitive fire was still burning bright. Bruno Moraes then sealed the win with two excellent goals. “Those goals made all Porto fans incredibly proud,” he added. Villas-Boas admired their drive. “Your effort is contagious,” he told the players. “Age doesn’t touch you. You keep showing the same desire to honor the FC Porto shirt. May many more trophies come!”
The club’s success isn’t limited to the past or the football field. Villas-Boas also spoke about the eSports triumphs. He stressed FC Porto’s commitment to these new arenas. “FC Porto will always honor the names of Diogo Jota and André Silva,” he stated. Both players are well-known football stars. Diogo Jota, in particular, has strong ties to the world of eSports. It shows how the club looks ahead while respecting its roots.
