"Strange things happened. The images are there, of course"

Observador12 September 2026 at 20:50

Almost 90 years later, FC Porto achieved six wins in six rounds in consecutive seasons. This historic feat occurs in a context where the three previous seasons with this start ended with the club winning the title.

Coach Farioli again criticized the refereeing during his statements. This is not the first time the coach has expressed dissatisfaction with referee decisions.

Farioli praised Diogo, a FC Porto player, among his criticism of the referees. The comment suggests the player had a positive performance that deserved to be highlighted.

The phrase "Strange things happened. The images are there, of course" indicates that Farioli believes he has visual evidence of erroneous decisions by the referees during the match.

Why this matters

FC Porto fans and general readers closely follow the title race, and this winning streak puts the club in a strong competitive position. Farioli's repeated criticism of the referees also signals tensions between the club and sporting authorities, which may have future implications for the team.
