FC Porto followed up its UEFA Champions League victory with a chaotic season, following the departure of coach José Mourinho and several key players. Initial coach Luigi Delneri was sacked even before the season started, due to too little presence in his new town in pre-season. New signings Ricardo Quaresma, Pepe, Giourkas Seitaridis, Luís Fabiano, Raul Meireles and Diego looked spectacular on paper, but in reality, Porto had a miserable offensive performance, culminating in just 39 league goals and a loss of the league title to arch rivals Benfica. As a consolation, it won the Intercontinental Cup title with a victory against Once Caldas on penalties.
