Porto’s Andre Villas Boas: We Proved That We Are The Best Team In Portugal

Europa League hopefuls Porto beat Benfica 2-1 on Sunday evening to win the Portuguese league title and head coach Andre Villas Boas was obviously over the moon with the result that helped the Dragoes to the title.

“We came to Benfica today to prove that we ware the best team in Portugal,” said Villas Boas to A Bola.

“I’m very happy to be part of this excellent group. The players deserve all the credit for this achievement. We have shown that we are the best team in Portugal, but people still question us. Is it clear now who’s the best?

Villas Boas went on to say that the comments in the press suggesting Benfica are the better team only motivated Porto even more.

“The ongoing criticism only motivated us even more. We are determined to continue showing our class. There are still several more trophies to be won,” he concluded.

Porto take on Spartak Moscow on Thursday in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, while they meet Benfica in the semi-finals of the Taca de Portugal on 20 April. Porto lost the first leg 2-0 at home, but Sunday’s win will give them the belief they can still reach the final of the domestic cup.
