Pote’s goals for Sporting nearly catch up with Gyokeres | OneFootball

Almost two months later, Pote returned to the starting lineup for Sporting, against Nacional, and scored in the 73rd minute in the victory over the islanders (2-1), to cement his place in the Club's history, specifically in the list of goal scorers who have worn the green and white stripes, standing alongside legendary names.

In what was his 220th official game for the emblem he has represented since the summer of 2020, the Portuguese international reached his 93rd goal and equaled, in the 18th position of the ranking, the Dutchman Bas Dost - a forward who represented Sporting from 2016 to 2019. An important milestone that could be followed by... Viktor Gyökeres.

The Swedish forward scored 97 goals in 102 matches. Pote needs four more goals to climb that mountain and has at least 17 more matches until the end of the season to do so, making it a realistic scenario to achieve for the 27-year-old athlete.

From there on, the mission becomes tougher, as the next is the violinist Travassos, with 125 goals, in a list with 15 other former forwards. Pote is the only midfielder on this list. The Portuguese international is also on the list of the top 10 goal scorers for the Lions in the Champions League.

In the current sports season, serving Sporting, Pedro Gonçalves - valued at 30 million euros - has played 22 matches. In the 1,621 minutes played, the footballer has already scored 11 goals and assisted his teammates on six occasions.
