As had already happened on Tuesday with Benfica, Sporting also had their sentence suspended for a week yesterday, and it is not known whether or not they can reach the play-offs of the European Champions League.
Next Wednesday we will be clear.
While Benfica has a difficult trip to Turin, there to face Juventus, 17th in the table, with 12 points, the lions receive in Alvalade another Italian team, Bologna, 28th in the table with five points, already out of the table, coming to Lisbon at a leisurely pace, just to keep to the schedule.
The essential part of the extraordinary game between Benfica and Barcelona has already been said and written.
As for Sporting, now is the time to say that the Portuguese champions wasted an excellent opportunity to reach the final round of the Champions League completely rested.
With no points on the table, the German team of RB Leipzig did not seem to be a fearsome opponent, even playing at home, where they have played quality games in their country’s championship, the Bundesliga.
-And, perhaps that’s why the Leonine team entered the game so relaxed, without inspiration and without football capable of surprising the German opponent, even though their initial formation was missing some usually fundamental players, who would enter with half an hour to go, but without that his presence then greatly changed the course of the game.
Except for Gyokeres who, once again, would score the only goal the Lions managed to achieve in Germany.
Leaving a worrying physical insufficiency in sight, the vast majority of Leo players keep their fans’ concerns alive about what could also happen in the State Championship and the World Cup.
Injuries also do not leave Alvalade, with St. Juste was yesterday the last victim of a possible new stop in its activity.
