Diogo Leite
“The goal is always the same, to win. We went in strong, controlled the match and won, which is all that matters. We knew we would have to be strong in the attack, but also stay sharp in the defence. We knew we were facing a strong team, and it was important that the team remained focused and that we won. It’s not over, as we have more matches to play. We are up to a good start, but we are already focused on the next matches. Everyone is important, and I work every day to get my opportunity; after that, it’s up to the coach to decide, but everyone is important.”
Diogo Costa
“Above all, this is a dream come true. Honestly, at the start of the match, I was nervous with the debut, but I looked at it with motivation and i felt the support of the audience, which makes the difference. We are Porto. We prepare every match in the same way, never knowing who will play, and we always work for the team. This is a competition like any other and FC Porto was made to win, so we look at every match as a final, which is what we did tonight.”
Bruno Costa
“We are pleased that we started this competition with the right foot. It’s a competition we want to win, like all others. We all work for these opportunities and everyone is prepared to play. It’s great to see that youth teams are paying off and that we are making it in the main squad. Seeing Diogo Costa play and Diogo Leite score makes me proud.”
