FC Porto Player Updates and Champions League Prep

Overview

On 1 August 2026, FC Porto secured its 25th Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira by defeating SCU Torreense 1-0. The victory brought Porto’s total trophy count to 88, surpassing Benfica’s 87, and guaranteed a spot in the 2026-27 Europa League. The match was marked by controversy regarding the pitch quality, which Coach Francesco Farioli described as “unacceptable to play a final on such a surface.”

Following the final, defender Jan Bednarek sustained a right-knee internal lateral ligament sprain, which he and staff attributed to the pitch conditions. While Bednarek missed the league opener on 9 August, his subsequent substitution during a match against Arouca due to calf pain was reported as precautionary. Coach Farioli indicated the discomfort did not appear serious, and Bednarek was expected to be available for the match against Academico de Viseu.

By 4 September 2026, Bednarek had returned to a decisive role, scoring a 37th-minute equalizer in a 2-1 win over Moreirense, marking his fifth goal of the season. As FC Porto prepares for a Champions League fixture against Manchester City, manager Farioli has named a squad that includes three Polish internationals: Jan Bednarek, Jakub Kiwior, and Oskar Pietuszewski, the latter of whom has been working toward a return from injury at the Olival training center.
