Trincão stars for Sporting: dream night in the Champions League | OneFootball

Francisco Trincão had a dream night for Sporting. The Alvalade Club made its debut in the new edition of the Champions League with a 4-1 thrashing against Kairat Almaty, on the night of last Thursday, September 18, with the 'number 17' of the lions scoring two of the goals.

In the most recent leonine triumph in UEFA's millionaire competition, the 25-year-old Portuguese international forward scored his first brace in the competition, where he already has four accurate shots. The rest were scored against Frankfurt and Marseille, both in the 2022/23 edition.

He made his debut in the millionaire competition while playing for Barcelona, in the 2020/21 season.

In addition to his first brace in the competition, the 'number 17' of the Alvalade Club was considered the man of the match, having the opportunity to analyze the thrashing against Kairat: "It was a tough game, there are no easy games. We started a bit sleepy, but we managed to score goals. With one goal we would have more space. That helps”.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Francisco Trincão - valued at 35 million euros - has played seven matches. At the start of this season, the Portuguese international forward started in all official games, where he has already recorded five goals and one assist.
