Match28 Nov 2026

A European lesson for Porto

0‑1 against Fenerbahce. Continental football is unforgiving about the things a domestic league lets a side get away with, and this was a night spent finding out which of those the club still has.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Lucas Pérez: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Porto have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Porto

Borja Sainz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Pepê runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Jan Bednarek falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Luuk de Jong left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Luuk de Jong will call it something else in private.

Match3 Oct 2026

A statement in Europe from Porto

3‑0 against Mlada Boleslav, and a performance that will change how the rest of the competition talks about this club. Reputations in continental football are built in single evenings and this was one.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Pepê

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Leonardo Vonić says Porto went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match3 Oct 2026

Porto make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Porto have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Porto

Borja Sainz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match3 Oct 2026

Porto see off Famalicao

Three points for Porto, 2‑1 the final word against Famalicao in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match3 Oct 2026

Porto keep winning on the road

3 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Jan Bednarek falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Lucas Pérez wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Porto know it.

Pepê runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 51. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Porto make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Porto have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Borja Sainz in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Porto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Yann Karamoh falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match29 Aug 2026

Porto find a way past Arouca

Arouca made Porto work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Match29 Aug 2026

Porto settle it inside twenty minutes

2 goals before the ground had finished arriving. Arouca spent the rest of the afternoon playing a match that had already been decided, and everybody in the stadium knew it.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Borja Sainz

Marked 8.08 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Anhá Candé stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Anhá Candé and Porto agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Lucas Pérez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Lucas Pérez, and the manager let it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Antoni Nikolov breaks a bone — 27 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market3 Aug 2026

Porto turn down Barcelona for Samu Aghehowa

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Lucas Pérez gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Lucas Pérez has just signed for Porto, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad3 Aug 2026

8 seasons of André Silva

331 appearances across 8 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Porto know what they have.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Jakub Kiwior stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jakub Kiwior and Porto agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market3 Aug 2026

Cagliari join the queue for Harold Preciado

Add another name to the list: Cagliari have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Harold Preciado. The answer from Porto has not changed — yet.
