The 2008-09 campaign was a triumphant season for Porto, as Os Dragões, led by manager Jesualdo Ferreira, clinched their fourth consecutive Primeira Liga title and secured a domestic double by winning the Taça de Portugal. Spearheading the league attack were the Argentine duo Ernesto Farías and Lisandro López, who each netted 10 league goals. The season was defined by a strong squad featuring rising star Hulk and captain Lucho González, and included a memorable run to the UEFA Champions League Quarter-finals where they were narrowly eliminated by Manchester United. This period of sustained dominance remains a defining chapter in the club's modern history.
