Sporting vs. Alverca, counting for the quarter-finals of the League Cup, was a night of many debuts at Alvalade. Flávio Gonçalves was one of those names to play for the Lions' first team, and he has already reacted to this moment with a message on social media.

The young player from Sporting’s academy did not hide his happiness after the end of the match. Flávio Gonçalves took to his social media to share some images from the game against Alverca, in which he left a heartfelt caption about his debut at Alvalade, though with a warning for the future.

"I have worked for years to fulfill the dream of one day playing at Alvalade. Thank you to everyone who helped me make this day possible. Happy for the debut and happy for the victory, but aware that the road is long. Let’s go for more, Sporting," wrote Flávio Gonçalves.
