Porto under attack! Police fire rubber bullets as fans stop team bus from leaving airport and call for president Andre Villas-Boas to quit after disastrous Club World Cup campaign

<p>According to Portuguese outlet <a href="https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-betclic/fc-porto/detalhe/comitiva-do-fc-porto-deixa-aeroporto-sob-contestacao-villas-boas-jogadores-e-anselmi-visados?ref=HP_DestaquesPrincipais" target="_blank"><em>Record</em></a>, around 50 furious fans gathered at the airport and blocked the club's bus from leaving, chanting for president Andre Villas-Boas to resign following the team's disappointing campaign at the Club World Cup. The players and staff, returning to Francisco Sa Carneiro Airport after a 4-4 draw against Saudi side Al Ahly, were escorted through the VIP terminal. The situation quickly escalated, forcing police to fire rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Porto arrived at the Club World Cup full of hope, but it quickly turned into a nightmare. They began with a 2-1 loss to Inter Miami, where <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/how-does-lionel-messi-do-it-argentine-goat-explains-free-kick-goal-what-inter-miami-proving-fifa-club-world-cup/blt451b16f91d3c8c8a" target="_blank">Lionel Messi’s stunning free-kick</a> sealed a historic win for the MLS side. The Portuguese club then played a thrilling 4-4 draw with Al Ahly, which wasn’t enough to send the team into the round of 16.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Back in Portugal, fan frustration has been steadily building after a disappointing first year under club president Villas-Boas. Porto finished fourth in the Primeira Liga, changed managers mid-season for the first time since 2015-16, and were eliminated from the Europa League in the playoff round.</p><p>Another early exit from international competition proved to be the breaking point for the fans, who hurled abuse and demanded the club president’s resignation.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>After a disappointing season, Porto’s management will face some tough decisions in the coming weeks. The club is expected to pursue key signings to rebuild, but that won't be easy. Ongoing financial difficulties have already forced the departure of several key players in January, so a complete squad rebuild would be highly unlikely. With pressure mounting from supporters, this summer could prove pivotal for the future direction of the club.</p>
