Mehdi Taremi and Rafa Silva sign off on a high - a retrospective of Benfica and Porto heroes

“Until the end of my life I will support FC Porto. From now on I’m another Super Dragão.” That was how an emotional Porto striker Mehdi Taremi reacted moments after scoring the stoppage-time winner in his final game for the Blue and Whites at the Estádio do Dragão on Sunday night.

Earlier in the evening, 300 kilometres south, another club hero, Rafa Silva, had a similarly triumphant final home game for Benfica. The speedster scored a brace and provided an assist as the Eagles thrashed Arouca 5-0 in the Portuguese capital.
