Galeno later said: "Everyone knows that I shoot well and today I was happy to score a great goal, but the whole team is to be congratulated for delivering the 90 minutes and being crowned with the victory. Now it's time to rest and think about what's next.
"The manager works well in these big games and today was no different. The manager gave us great things that we had to do, not give space. We know they have a very strong attack, which scores a lot of goals. We deserve this victory. Now it's time to celebrate.
It's a dream I've always dreamed of since I was a boy. Even more so in a big club like FC Porto, I feel fulfilled. I didn't win these awards alone, it's the whole team, everyone is to be congratulated on the great game we played. Let's celebrate well, because we have more finals.
It wasn't long before I cried. Because I only watched Arsenal on television, I always wanted to play against them and to score a great goal like that at the end of the game and come away with the victory is more special. I need to see my goal. I have not seen it yet."
