Gonçalo Inácio expressed his distress over the outcome of the match between Sporting and Napoli. The lion team was defeated 2-1, this Wednesday, October 1, in southern Italy, in the second round of the Champions League. The central defender has already reacted to the match, expressing dissatisfaction with the result achieved away from home.

"I think it was a very unfair result for us. We fought until the end and we wanted more but, as I said, it was very unfair," said the 24-year-old Portuguese international center-back, in statements to UEFA after the end of the match.

Despite the negative result, Gonçalo Inácio showed that his focus is already on the clash with Braga, where Sporting wants to secure three important points in the fight for the championship: "We didn't get the win in this game but we are already focused on the next one...that's how we think, game by game."

At the start of the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is one of the regulars in the Sporting team. The green and white central defender has accumulated 900 minutes in 10 games, in which he has already made two assists for goals.

The green and white emblem will only return to the field next Sunday, October 5, against Braga. The match, counting for the eighth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at Alvalade Stadium, at 7:15 pm.
