Jan Bednarek's goal at the 40-minute mark proved to be decisive as Porto, thanks to the win, reached 85 points, mathematically out of reach for Benfica (76) and Sporting CP (73) with only two matches remaining in the season.
Danish international Victor Froholdt, who has been instrumental throughout the season after joining Porto before the start of the season from FC Copenhagen, was obviously thrilled to win the title in his first season at the club.
“We worked very hard for these moments. We played many games, and it was very well deserved. We worked as hard as we could, every day. I’m very proud of the whole team and staff. We’re going to celebrate this for the city, for all the phenomenal fans. It’s great to give back to them."
Froholdt also took time to praise the fans. “We would never be here without the fans. They were with us when we won and when we suffered. It’s great to win and give this to the people after a few years without trophies. I hope everyone can celebrate.”
Froholdt also praised the tactical mind of coach Francesco Farioli. “The coach kept us united all season. He was great tactically. It’s very well deserved on his part. Last year, he couldn’t do it with Ajax; now he has. He can be very proud of himself."
