🌎 The Club World Cup guide to...Porto
Our guide to all 32 clubs participating at the FIFA Club World Cup continues. You can check out the full list so far here. Today we're looking How did they qualify for the Club World Cup? 📸 Alex Livesey - 2004 Getty Images Advertisement Porto are a club with great European pedigree, having won the European Cup in 1987 and the Champions League in 2004. They qualified for the Club World Cup via the UEFA ranking pathway thanks to some strong Champions League showings between 2021 and 2024. History at the Club World Cup Porto have never played at the Club World Cup but did win the Intercontinental Cup in 1987 (beating Uruguayan side Peñarol 2-1 after extra-time in a one-off match) and in 2004 (beating Colombian outfit Once Caldas in a penalty shoot-out). How did they perform in the 2024/25 season? It's been a tough campaign for Porto with the Portuguese giants finishing third in their domestic campaign, failing to win any of the cups and getting knocked out of the Europa League and the first post-group stage hurdle. Who is the coach? 📸 Hector Vivas - 2025 Getty Images Advertisement Argentine coach Martín Anselmi has only been in charge of Porto since January 2025, having previously coached in Chile, Ecuador and Mexico respectively. He has a reputation as a progressive, detail-oriented manager focused on high-intensity, possession-based football. Who is their star player? 📸 Octavio Passos - 2024 Getty Images Spain international forward Samu Aghehowa will be one to watch at the Club World Cup. Since joining Porto from Atlético de Madrid in the summer of 2024, the 20-year-old has been in impressive form, scoring 25 goals in 42 games, earning himself a call-up to Spain's senior squad last November, having won a gold medal for La Roja at the 2024 summer Olympic Games. Expected performance at the Club World Cup The Dragões will fancy their chances of emerging from Group A, where they will face Al Ahly, Inter Miami and Palmeiras. Advertisement But a disappointing season on the domestic front means it's difficult to imagine them doing much in the knockout stages, if indeed they get that far. A quarter-final berth would represent a solid achievement. 📸 FILIPE AMORIM - AFP or licensors

Lionel Messi nails incredible Club World Cup free-kick winner
Lionel Messi lit up the Club World Cup with a majestic winner that fans reckon should earn him a ridiculous ninth Ballon d'Or. The iconic attacker conjured incredible curl to flash home a free-kick as Inter Miami stunned Portuguese giants Porto with a 2-1 comeback victory, as The Sun reports. David Beckham's team went wild after 37-year-old Messi's deadball detonation left viewers claiming the Argentine was as good as ever. One fan raved: 'He is incredible! Messi is from another planet! Give him the ballon d'Or!' Another wrote: 'The curl on that! What a goal from the greatest ever.' A third posted: 'You don't leave the legend with a foul like that to score the goal.' A fourth added: The GOAT doing GOAT things.' If anything, Messi's strike looked even better when seen on the innovative Ref Cam, which you can see below. It showed the ex-Barcelona hero making his magic look easy, as with barely any backlift he whipped the ball home from a central position just outside the penalty area. Miami had roared back after Samu Aghehowa's early penalty opener for Porto in front of 31,783 fans at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. And in fact that spot-kick was a soft decision, following a VAR intervention when Noah Allen was spotted making slight contact on Joao Mario. Venezuela midfielder Telasco Segovia thumped Miami level just 96 seconds into the second half. And Messi – the night's star performer for so much more than his goal – completed the turnaround seven minutes later with his vintage swerver. Porto did pour forward late on, with Aghehowa blazing high. But Becks' MLS club now share top place in Group A with Palmeiras, both on four points from two games.
