Gyokeres' relative and Varandas' wife in Sporting's parade to Benfica | OneFootball

Sporting fans have already left from Estádio José Alvalade heading towards Estádio da Luz, looking forward to this Friday’s derby. Among the approximately three thousand fans are Katarina Larsson, wife of Frederico Varandas, and also Christopher Gyokeres, cousin of Viktor Gyokeres.

Both were present in the procession of Sporting fans on their way to the home of the “encarnados”, in a journey of just over half an hour. The Sporting President’s partner shared the moment alongside the Arsenal striker’s relative through ‘Stories’ posted on her Instagram account.

Katarina Larsson was an athlete for Sporting. The former Swedish runner has been living in Portugal for several years, having started practicing triathlon in 2006, but it was only after joining the Alvalade club in 2010 that she began to significantly improve, even becoming European triathlon champion.

Viktor Gyokeres’ family has always shown great affection for the Alvalade club. Christopher Gyokeres’ father was thrilled with the achievement of the second consecutive championship: “I’m very happy, it’s fantastic. We were here last year, it’s the same spirit. It’s the same people, it’s the same atmosphere. Absolutely fantastic! Speechless. It’s incredible, the country, the people, and Sporting. And the lions. We love it!” he said during the celebrations at Marquês de Pombal.

With the victory against Estrela da Amadora (4-0) in the last round, Rui Borges’ men have 31 points and are in second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings. Porto (34) is in first place. Benfica is in third position with 28 points.
