The 2006-07 campaign delivered a triumphant 22nd league title for Porto as Os Dragões, led by newly appointed manager Jesualdo Ferreira, clinched the Primeira Liga trophy. Spearheading the attack was the Brazilian forward Adriano, whose 11 crucial league goals proved vital in a season of domestic dominance that also saw the club secure the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. Anchored by defensive stars like Pepe and the midfield influence of Lucho González, it was a pivotal year that marked the beginning of a new successful era, even as they enjoyed a memorable run to the Champions League Round of 16.
