===''Tri, Tetra, Penta'' (1988–2001)=== In contrast to the previous season, Porto failed to win a trophy in 1988–89, with many of its players struck down with injuries, such as Madjer and Gomes.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=436}} Fifteen years after his first-team debut, Gomes made his last season for Porto, where he became the all-time top goalscorer with 352 goals in 455 matches.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|pp=21, 176}} The club brought back Artur Jorge, who recovered the Primeira Divisão title in the following season and added the [[1991 Taça de Portugal Final|Taça]] and [[1991 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|Supertaça]] trophies in 1991.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=444, 453}} His successor, Brazilian [[Carlos Alberto Silva]], won back-to-back league titles in two seasons and qualified Porto for the [[1992–93 UEFA Champions League|first UEFA Champions League]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=462, 470}}<ref>{{cite web|title=UEFA Champions League 1992/93|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=1992/index.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130105085759/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=1992/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 January 2013|publisher=UEFA|access-date=29 June 2014}}</ref> [[File:Bobby Robson Cropped.jpg|thumb|left|upright|[[Bobby Robson]] won the first two of Porto's record five consecutive league titles.]] Midway through the 1993–94 season, Porto hired former England manager [[Bobby Robson]], who had been sacked by Sporting CP. The club closed the gap to league winners Benfica, reached the [[1993–94 UEFA Champions League]] semi-finals, and ended the season with a victory over Sporting CP in the [[1994 Taça de Portugal Final|Taça de Portugal final]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=478}} In Robson's first full season, Porto claimed the [[1994–95 Primeira Divisão]] title with a win at Sporting CP's ground and played Benfica four times to secure both the [[1993 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|1993]] and [[1994 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|1994 stagings]] of the Supertaça.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=486}}<ref name="supertaça" /> The beginning of the season had been clouded by the death of 26-year-old midfielder [[Rui Filipe]], who had scored the club's first league goal.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=486}} Robson's increasing health problems barred him from leading Porto in the first months of the 1995–96 season, but he returned in time to revalidate the league title. Striker [[Domingos Paciência]] became the club's top goalscorer for the second consecutive time and won that season's ''[[Bola de Prata (Portugal)|Bola de Prata]]'', the last win by a Portuguese player.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=494, 501–502}} To fill the void left by the departure of Robson for [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], Porto hired former club captain and Portugal national team manager [[António Luís Alves Ribeiro Oliveira|António Oliveira]]. Under his command, Porto made history by winning a third consecutive league title (the ''Tri'') for the first time, leaving the runners-up at a distance of 13 points. The club's eighth Supertaça win over Benfica was achieved with a solid performance at the [[Estádio da Luz (1954)|Estádio da Luz]] that resulted in a 5–0 scoreline.<ref name="supertaça" />{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=503, 510}} The arrival of Brazilian players Artur and [[Mário Jardel]] proved highly productive in the [[1996–97 UEFA Champions League]], as their goals helped Porto beat [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] in Italy and win its group without defeats.<ref>{{cite web|title=UEFA Champions League 1996/97 – History – Standings|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=1996/standings/round=76/group=18/index.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120914072816/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=1996/standings/round=76/group=18/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 September 2012|publisher=UEFA|access-date=29 June 2014}}</ref> In addition, Jardel would win the first of four consecutive ''Bola de Prata'' awards while at Porto.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=503, 510}} In Oliveira's second and last season at the club, Porto won the Primeira Divisão for the fourth straight season (the ''Tetra''), matching Sporting CP's achievement in the early 1950s, and secured its third double after beating [[S.C. Braga|Braga]] in the [[1998 Taça de Portugal Final]].<ref name="taça de portugal" />{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=511}} For the 1998–99 season, Porto tasked Portuguese coach [[Fernando Santos (football coach)|Fernando Santos]] with winning the club's fifth successive Primeira Divisão title (the ''Penta'') – a Portuguese football record. He accomplished this feat, becoming thereafter known as the "''Penta'' engineer" (a pun to his academic degree),<ref>{{cite web|title=Fernando Santos deixa selecção da Grécia após o Mundial do Brasil|trans-title=Fernando Santos selected from Greece after the World Cup in Brazil|url=http://www.publico.pt/desporto/noticia/fernando-santos-deixa-seleccao-grega-apos-o-mundial-do-brasil-1626405|work=[[Público (Portugal)|Público]]|access-date=29 June 2014|language=pt|date=27 February 2014}}</ref> and saw Jardel's 36 goals win him the European Golden Shoe.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=519}}<ref name="golden shoe"/> Porto lost the chance to win its sixth straight league title, after finishing four points behind [[1999–2000 Primeira Liga]] champions Sporting, but overcame them to lift its [[2000 Taça de Portugal Final|tenth Taça de Portugal trophy]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=527}}<ref name="taça de portugal" /> Despite winning the Portuguese cup for the second time in two years, continued failure to retake the league title led to the resignation of Santos at the end of the 2000–01 season.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=539}}
