FC Porto beat Sporting (2-0), in Leiria, and won the League Cup for the first time

FC Porto is officially the club with the most titles in Portugal after winning the League Cup, the one trophy that was still missing in the museum. After the victory over Sporting (2-0), in Leiria, which meant the 83rd title in football, the blue and white players praised the unique achievement in the club's history and did not forget the importance of the Blue Sea.

Cláudio Ramos
"We wanted to get this cup in our museum and we did. We knew it was going to be a difficult match, but we also knew what we had to do. We were able to endure and remain united, which is very important. When we are united, no one can beat us. This victory only gives us more strength to keep working and fighting for more titles. We showed again who the best club in Portugal is. We are all happy and I want to thank the great support and energy our fans give us."

João Mário
"I'm very happy, it was a great match from the whole team. At times, we had to suffer, but this was a title that we were missing and that we deserved. We work every day on the edge, we have a strong bond to each other and this is a deserved title for a team that has a great spirit. This leaves us closer to winning titles."

Eustaquio
"It was a difficult final, as Sporting has an excellent team and excellent players. We went in well and scored the goal, but then Sporting tried to react and improved, also because our pressure was failing. At half time we corrected some things and the second half belonged to us. We were always very focused, hard-working and very effective. Right now, we are the holders of all the national titles and that is very important for us, as it is the result of our work. We wanted to add this trophy to our museum."

Gonçalo Borges
"Today it was clear how important our fans are to us. It is gratifying for us, as a working group and as human beings, to be able to give this joy to our fans. It is a moment of joy for all of us and it is very nice to be in the history of FC Porto."

Toni Martínez
"We have to keep working because we want to win more. At this club, you fight until the end. This is a team, so some players go in for some matches, others play in other matches, but the important thing is that whoever goes in helps the team, because you never know when they're going to need you. We always have to be prepared and we always have to play at our best. We knew how important it was to win this trophy and we will be in the history of the club as the first. Today our fans showed once again that they are the best in Portugal and in the world. They are with us in the good and in the bad times, so we are happy to give them this joy."
