FC Porto celebrated their 26th Portuguese league title triumph on Sunday.

After beating Maritimo 2-0 on Saturday thanks to two penalties from Brazilian star Hulk, their closest rivals Benfica could only draw 2-2 at Rio Ave on Sunday.

That left Porto with a six-point lead with two games left but assured of the title due to their better head-to-head record over their great Lisbon rivals.
