The 2020-21 campaign saw Os Dragões, under manager Sérgio Conceição, secure a crucial 2nd-place finish in the Primeira Liga and secure a prestigious victory over rivals Benfica to win the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. The season's high point was their unforgettable run to the UEFA Champions League Quarter-finals, highlighted by a dramatic Round of 16 victory over Juventus on away goals. Leading the attack was the clinical striker Mehdi Taremi, whose 25 goals across all competitions anchored a season defined by European drama and silverware.
