Luis Suárez sets sights on first Champions League goal for Sporting | OneFootball

In this latest transfer market, Sporting made a strong bet on signing Luis Suárez to fill the potential departure of Viktor Gyokeres. Aware of this confidence, the Colombian forward has been putting in maximum effort at the start of this season. However, despite his dedication, he has yet to achieve a very particular goal as a player for the lions.

The five goals he has scored - the last of which gave the lions three points in their visit to Estoril's home ground - end up being 'tasteless' for the player, as they were all valid for the Liga Portugal Betclic. Against Napoli, the attacker wants to reverse the trend, with or without Fotis Ioannidis by his side.

Suárez's main goal for the second matchday of the Champions League is clear: in addition to Sporting's victory, the Colombian wants to make his debut scoring in the millionaire's competition, something that is one of his biggest dreams and that stuck in his head after the game with Kairat, in which he missed several opportunities.

This season, with the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez - valued at 22 million euros - has played nine matches. The Sporting player has participated in all official matches at the start of this season: six for Liga Portugal, one for the Champions League and another for the Supercup. In the 674 minutes he has been on the field, the forward has scored five goals and made three assists.

The green and white emblem will take to the field again next Wednesday, October 1, against Napoli. The match, counting for the second matchday of the Champions League, against the team led by Antonio Conte, will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, at 8:00 pm.
