The players managed to get the true essence and true DNA of FC Porto. Their incredible determination and spirit of sacrifice touched me.
“I have a group of brave players who interpreted what we wanted in the best way, against a great team with players of a very high level. We suffered but also created difficulties for Juventus. We were a real team.
“Congratulations to the players, they did a fantastic job. After Taremi's expulsion, we showed the FC Porto DNA. We never stopped believing – this is the true DNA of FC Porto.”
The 46-year-old manager was quizzed what he told his men when they were down to 10, he said:
“I told them it was necessary to get a little more from each one. It is in these situations that we also find this strength.”
