Sporting legend recalls Porto dressing rooms in the 80s: they smelt odd | OneFootball

One of Sporting’s symbols of the 1980s, Mário Jorge played in one of the most emblematic matches of the decade and in Sporting’s history: the 7-1 over Benfica. However, the former midfielder recalled Porto, where he says he already experienced intense smells at the old Estádio das Antas.

"There were times when it was almost like a state of siege. We even had to get changed in the corridor because the dressing room had a strange smell", he said in an exclusive interview with Sábado magazine, recalling what happened this season in handball.

It is worth recalling that at the end of March, before the handball match between Porto and Sporting, played at the Dragão Arena, reports emerged of an intense smell in the dressing room assigned to the Lions, a situation that forced the players to get changed in the corridor.

Several Sporting members felt unwell in the dressing room. Coach Ricardo Costa and player Christian Moga required medical assistance and were taken to hospital after reporting a strong smell in the room. A female delegate also needed support from the firefighters, which led to the match being delayed by around 15 minutes.
