FC Porto’s general director of sports, Mário Santos, denied reports claiming that members of Sporting had needed hospital treatment following the alleged illnesses before the handball match played this Saturday.

“It is false that anyone was hospitalized. No one left the Dragão Arena, and it is absolutely surreal for this to end with supposed trips to the hospital that never happened,” he said.

The official also criticized what he described as “baseless noise” surrounding the situation, reinforcing the position already taken by the club in the statement released earlier.

“FC Porto welcomed Sporting with full dignity and within the rules for a fair, noble and honest competition. We do not want to win off the court, nor take part in theatrics,” he concluded.
