Porto catches up with Benfica in controversial title tally

This is because the first two editions of the Portuguese Super Cup are considered unofficial, according to the Portuguese Football Federation. The competition became official in 1981 and two titles were left behind, one won by Boavista and the other by Benfica. FC Porto does not recognize this title from its opponent and therefore claims another one (83 vs 82). Moreover, the Dragon Emblem Daily Newsletter was aware of this, meaning that FC Porto is now the club with the most titles.

On the Portuguese Football Federation website, the Boavista and Benfica titles appear in the overall list of winners, with the aforementioned exception that the competition was unofficial in the first two editions (1978/79 and 1979/80).
