"As the manager said, there's good energy, no negativity," he said. "We have to stay focused. We have to want to play, want to improve, and be a real family. That's why we've been working hard these last few days and weeks."

Moffi praised Porto's manager, Francesco Farioli, for his meticulous approach, noting that the Italian coach's focus on minor details helps players elevate their game.

"It comes down to the small details. The touch, the right moment to appear, the timing... all of that," Moffi explained. "As a player, that's what differentiates you from everyone else, the details. And that's exactly what he's been trying to do in the last two or three years."

With Porto facing a critical European fixture in Germany, Moffi will be keen to answer his critics on the pitch and help his team secure a vital result on the continental stage.
