FC Porto are back on the throne of Portuguese football.
The Dragons officially secured their 31st national league title this Saturday after a decisive win over Alverca on Matchday 32 of the Primeira Liga.
Porto had not lifted the Liga Portugal trophy since 2022, bringing to an end a barren spell during which Sporting CP had claimed the last two titles.
Having arrived last summer from Ajax, Italian coach Francesco Farioli (who notably had a spell at Nice) has truly passed his baptism of fire on the Porto bench.
In Portugal, the dominance of the "Big Three" remains absolute. As a reminder, the last time a club other than Benfica, Porto or Sporting won the Primeira Liga was in 2001, when Boavista claimed a historic title.
This three-way hegemony looks set to continue.
