The last classic of this edition of the championship ended with two goals and one point for each side. In the aftermath of the tie against Sporting, at Estádio do Dragão, Sérgio Conceição talked of a match "typical of the season", as the players played "a very competent game" but ended up "conceding an unfair tie". “We were far superior to Sporting in everything”, the blue and white coach added.

From 2-0 to 2-2
"It's typical of the season. The players played a very positive game, we could have reached a big victory and we tied. It's unfair for what we did until minute 88, but we should have been more focused. These issues are typical of youth and the players, in the future, will not make decisive mistakes in the game. It was a game in which the whole team did extremely well in the strategy defined, in the zones and at the moment of pressure, in the way of exploring a very wide Sporting in possession. We were on top of it all week, Sporting did a little more at the end of the game. We played a very competent game, but we ended up conceding the tie that was not deserved as we were much superior to Sporting in everything.”

Lack of experience
"It wasn’t a matter of switching off, the youth just had to understand that Sporting had scored and believed that more was possible. We can’t lose the ball like that, it’s part of the growth of the kids and today we must congratulate everyone, especially Martim who played a very complete game. The future of FC Porto is him, there is no age limit at the club, there is competence and quality. When that happens, we are happy to send in another kid at this level, in games of this difficulty.”

Martim Fernandes and Pepe
“I changed one or two positions, between the balance of putting Pepê behind or leaving him in front to create and score goals. Full confidence in the professional football team, which includes B players we are watching. Martim is part of our work in the main team and I wanted to keep the same team as much as possible. We couldn’t use Pepe due to injury, as he had already played injured last week and aggravated his injury. It wasn’t possible to recover him without training because it is an injury that takes some time to be ok.”

Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa
“We couldn’t expect anything other than the recognition and gratitude of the supporters who presented themselves in large numbers. Gratitude for a 42-year presidency, a legacy of many achievements, the most titled president in the world and we have to thank him for everything he did. He is unforgettable, he removed the club from a region and promoted it to one of the best clubs in the world. There’s work behind it, with many players, coaches, managers, with a very passionate audience. He is a leader who will stay forever in the history of FC Porto.”

André Villas-Boas
“I want to take this opportunity to congratulate André's B list for the victory in the elections. The members decide the fate of the club, and they have decided for the transition at this time. I am available to talk to anyone who has responsibilities at FC Porto, without any problem. More import than talking is to think about the missing games of the championship and the Cup final that we really want to win.”
