Portu was delighted scoring in Girona's win against Alaves last night.

The 3-0 triumph saw Girona return to the LaLiga summit.

Portu said: “Playing at Montilivi is always special.

"Every time I go out into the field I try to give back to the people for all the support they give me. As players, sometimes we are clear that there are places where you feel more comfortable, like at home, and Girona is mine.

"Living these moments is incredible."

He added: "We want to be up there. This team is not affected by outside noise. It's very nice to get up in the morning and see Girona as the leader."
