Throughout the journey of Diogo Costa, many footballers have crossed paths with the current captain of FC Porto's team. On the occasion of his 200th game for the main team of the Dragons, the newspaper A BOLA sought out a player who met a particular requirement: having shared the field with the goalkeeper in another emblematic match – the hundredth, on March 14, 2023, against Inter Milan (0-0), at Estádio do Dragão.
Toni Martínez accepted the challenge and stepped forward, leaving a congratulatory message to Diogo, a "friend" who helped instill what it means to "be Porto" in the Spanish forward. "Diogo, brother, congratulations on 200 games with the dragon on your chest. I want to congratulate you on the wonderful career you are having. You know that, for me, you are the best goalkeeper in the world," said Toni Martínez, in the video you can watch above.
"I want to congratulate you on this incredible milestone. I always wish you the best; you are a friend on and off the field. I have to thank you for all the help you've given me since day one. You made me see what the club meant to you, until I felt the same way," added the now Alavés player.
