The trip to Barcelos marked the return of FC Porto to victories, after the defeat (1-3) in Vila do Conde, with Rio Ave, in the previous round of the league. Against Gil Vicente who started the season with European stature, the national champion resumed the good path and added another three points (2-0), concluding the fifth round with 12 wins.
A good tonic for the Dragons’ debut in the current edition of the Champions League – the first match of Group B will take place next Wednesday, in Spain, with Atletico Madrid – which is still special. After all, it was Sergio Conceicao’s 200th victory for the club he loved: an average of 72.2 per cent from a total of 277 games.
On this trip to Minho, the 47-year-old coach in Ribeira de Frades (Coimbra) has amassed another example of success leading the Blues and Whites. The colors in which his history has enriched him, now appear alongside Artur Jorge as Invicta’s most famous coach, with eight titles: three championships, two Portuguese Cups and three Super Cups.
In the Whites and Blues’ stats for the Master, most wins have been determined naturally in the context of La Liga, with 138 successes against the most diverse opponents in this competition, since the 2017/2018 campaign. They are followed in the hierarchy of their victories, the Portuguese Cup (27), the Champions (17), the League Cup (11), the European League (4) and the Super Cup (3).
