THE PORTUGUESE came, saw and partied yesterday in Dublin in advance of the Europa League final, the biggest football match ever held in Ireland.
An estimated 16,000 fans arrived into Dublin airport for the match between FC Porto and Braga, two clubs from the north of Portugal that are just 48km apart. Porto later won the match 1-0.
Dublin airport successfully completed the first leg of the biggest logistical operation in its history.
A total of 70 charter flights came from early morning and were due to depart in the early hours of this morning.
Airport spokeswoman Siobhán Moore described the atmosphere as “like a carnival”.
The game at the Aviva Stadium, was well attended.
Each set of supporters were bussed to separate fan zones, the much more numerous Porto fans to the RDS and the Braga fans to the Point Village in advance of the match.
However, many did not stay in the fans zone because both were dry – a fact which seemed to be greeted with incredulity by fans who noted Dublin’s famous reputation for pubs.
