Jagiellonia Białystok's Oskar Pietuszewski, who moved to FC Porto in the winter, quickly became a fan favorite in Portugal. Official confirmation of his status came from the fans: the Dąbrowa Podlaska native has just won a prestigious award for a goal that dominated the Portuguese league phase. The most memorable moment of the past season in Pietuszewski's performance took place on March 8 at the famous Estadio Da Luz in Lisbon. In the 40th minute of the prestigious match against Benfica, FC Porto launched a deadly counterattack. Pietuszewski sprinted down the left wing, and in a crucial moment of the action, he calmly outplayed the 2022 World Cup winner, Nicolas Otamendi. A moment later, he scored a precise shot past the helpless Anatoli Trubin. This goal caused euphoria and was so deeply etched in the memory of the fans that it was officially recognized by FC Porto fans as the most beautiful goal of the 2025/26 season. In the final vote on the X platform, Pietuszewski engaged in a fierce battle with William Gomes and his goal against Sporting. The Polish representative won 51% of the votes, sealing his excellent start in his new club. The last few weeks have been a real rollercoaster for the young player. Pietuszewski had to divide the duties of a professional footballer at the European level with... high school exams. There was even a situation where the young player left the official training of the senior Polish national team before the friendly match against Nigeria. The reason? A hasty return to Podlasie to take the oral maturity exam in Białystok. Immediately after the exams, the winger returned to the national team's gathering. In the 2-2 draw against Nigeria, he entered the field in the final minutes. Although he did not directly participate in the equalizing goal, the Podlaski accent was still preserved - his former Jagiellonia teammate, Norbert Wojtuszek, assisted on that goal. The FC Porto authorities know exactly what treasure they have in their ranks. Coach Francesco Farioli has never been afraid to rely on the young Pole, and he has repaid him with a brilliant performance on the pitch. The result? At the end of May, just after the player turned 18, the Portuguese signed a new, long-term contract with Pietuszewski, valid until 2031. Before the former Jagiellonia player, there is now a well-deserved break, and after it, the start of preparations for the new season. The bar has been set much higher. As the Portuguese champions, Porto have secured a place in the League of Champions. For Pietuszewski, it will be a chance to make his absolute debut in these elite competitions and prove that the explosion of his talent is just the beginning.
