Match28 Feb 2028

Nobody above Porto

First, on 64 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Match26 Feb 2028

Whatever happens, Porto do not lose

12 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

Oskar Pietuszewski, 19, steals the show — 7.75

Marked 7.75 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

Age has not caught Bruno Fernandes yet — 8.05

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.05 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad28 Feb 2028

A falling-out at Porto

Bruno Fernandes and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces28 Feb 2028

One of their own: Oskar Pietuszewski

He is 19 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match26 Feb 2028

Luis Suárez the difference as Porto beat Estoril Praia

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Luis Suárez. 2‑0 against Estoril Praia, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

Luis Suárez beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Loan watch28 Feb 2028

Tomás Pérez wants to come home

“I did not go to Oliveirense to sit and watch. I want to come back to Porto and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 6 matches say the rest.

In brief

  • The dugout Pepê has become a man the manager trusts
  • Squad Words at Porto training over how hard people work
  • The dugout A satisfied Jorge Sousa

Match19 Feb 2028

Porto run riot against Alverca

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

Bruno Fernandes scores twice — 8.32

Two goals and a mark of 8.32 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match19 Feb 2028

11 unbeaten for Porto

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 11 matches without defeat is a foundation Porto did not have in the autumn.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

No sign of nerves from Oskar Pietuszewski at 19 — 8.47

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Oskar Pietuszewski did not need any: 8.47, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Remember the name: Oskar Pietuszewski

He is 19, he is averaging 7.24, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Market21 Feb 2028

Marlon Gomes has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Porto can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Market21 Feb 2028

Porto promote Daniel Simoes from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Simoes has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market21 Feb 2028

Porto promote Antonio Teixeira from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Antonio Teixeira has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market21 Feb 2028

Hugo Pereira steps up from the Porto academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Hugo Pereira has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Transfer targets7 Feb 2028

Door shut on Matías Soulé

Porto asked and AS Roma said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market7 Feb 2028

Martim Fernandes says no to Portimonense

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Martim Fernandes had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Transfer targets7 Feb 2028

Deadline beats Porto to Carl Rushworth

The clock did what Sevilla would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

The dugout7 Feb 2028

Miguel Silva keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Porto may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market7 Feb 2028

So close: Harold Preciado’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. 1º Dezembro moved on, Harold Preciado reports back to Porto, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Market7 Feb 2028

Bruno Fernandes wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Porto hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Porto close the window on a squad of their own making

2 in and 10 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Match5 Feb 2028

Whatever happens, Porto do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Loan watch7 Feb 2028

Tcherno Jamanca counts the days

“I watch every Porto game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Sporting da Covilhã runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
