Porto
🎙 Francesco Farioli spoke after the second Europa League match against Stuttgart: "Looking at both games, I believe we deserved to progress. Today's match was very challenging; they started strongly, and we defended well. We conceded many shots on our goal, mostly from outside the box. We had limited possession, but we created the better chances. Diogo Costa's performance deserves a mention; he was outstanding. Considering the emotional aspect of what happened with Silvinho, it was the best way to honor the memory of a great goalkeeper and goalkeeping coach. Diogo delivered a great performance despite back pain. Jan Bednarek and Thiago Silva were phenomenal in pressing, and everyone contributed. We showcased excellent individual and collective play and are reaping the rewards."
❌ The "Dragons" have a consistent injury list: Luuk de Jong, Samu, and Nehuén Pérez remain sidelined.
