Sporting starter reacts after the Champions: Unfortunately... | OneFootball

Rui Silva, the goalkeeper for the Lions, took to social media to react to Sporting’s run in this season’s UEFA Champions League. The campaign ended at the Emirates Stadium after a draw with Arsenal (0-0) in the second leg of the quarter-finals, where the Lions were unable to overturn the advantage secured by the London side in the first leg (1-0).

, wrote the ‘number 1 shirt’ in a post accompanied by several images from the European night in London.

Sporting’s fans made themselves heard with words of praise and encouragement for what remains of the season. “As great as the biggest in Europe” and “Proud of you” were two of the phrases most often voiced by the Lions’ fanbase.

In this edition of the Champions League, the green and whites earned an honorable place among the eight best teams in the League Phase and another place among the eight best teams in Europe in the knockout stage. It is also worth noting that Rui Borges’ side turned the José Alvalade Stadium into their fortress, claiming four wins from four matches in the League Phase.

For what remains of the season, the Lions still have two very clear ambitions: to win a third straight league title and reach Jamor for the Portuguese Cup final. To achieve that, there are still 6 league matches left and the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals at the Estádio do Dragão, where Rui Borges’ side hold a 1-0 advantage in the tie.
