Porto bagged a season's treble trophy haul after adding the Portuguese Cup on Sunday to the club's triumphs in the Europa League and Portuguese league this season.

Porto, coached by 33-year-old Andre Villas-Boas, hammered Vitoria Guimaraes 6-2 in the Cup final in Lisbon to repeat the treble last achieved in 2003 under now-Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho.

FC Porto became the first club to win the Cup three times in successive years, and it has now claimed the honour a stunning 16 times in its history.
