The line of players who were receiving medals gradually got shorter until the last person remained.
It was Pepe who was the captain of the team who would also be the one to receive the trophy.
He stepped up to receive his medal before he walked up the stage to join his teammates on the stage.
Then Miguel Almeida, the President of NOS, and Pedro Proenca, the President of Liga Portugal stepped up to present the Liga NOS trophy to the Porto team.
Pepe received the trophy with a wide smile before moving back to the crowd of his teammates and on cue, the trophy went down as they counted.
"1, 2, 3," they counted and on the count of three, the trophy was raised up high accompanied by celebratory cheers and happy shouts from the Porto team.
