PORTO - The FC Porto stars team, considered to be the eternal number two, the Poulidor of the European Cup for club teams, has finally managed to conquer the trophy in its home town. The Futebol Clube Porto is the new European champion for teams with the glorious foursom Dani Sánchez, Torbjörn Blomdahl, Rui Manuel Costa and Joao Pedro Ferreira.

The Portuguese team, led by Alipio Jorge, the club's president, defeated the defending champion Gaziantepspor (Tayfun Tasdemir, Murat Naci Coklu, Can Capak and Gokhan Salman) in the final match 4-2. The fourth match between Rui Costa and Can Capak was stopped after the Portuguese were unreachable for the opponent.

The last match scenario was perfect for FC Porto. Dani Sánchez showed his teammates the way to victory by a win over Tayfun Tasdemir (40-26 in 17), Murat Naci Coklu dominated the match against Torbjörn Blomdahl 40-22 in 28. The two other FC Porto players forced the decision. Rui Manuel Costa captured Can Capak and Joao Pedro Ferreira finished in his match against Gökhan Salman with a wonderful 10-run.

That apotheosis was the start of a huge showdown and joy among the Portuguese players. Rui Costa jumped into the arms of his young Portuguese team-mate Ferreira and a while later, Alipio Jorge, Dani Sánchez and Torbjörn Blomdahl shared the celebration. Rarely, so much luck and joy was seen in a team becoming the European champion.
