Tiago Tomás shines in Europa League, former Sporting man scores in rout | OneFootball

Stuttgart thrashed Celtic 4-1 in Scotland this Thursday, February 19, reinforcing their bid to advance to the Europa League round of 16. One of the four goals was scored by Tiago Tomás, a former Sporting player.

The Portuguese forward sealed the victory in Glasgow in the 93rd minute, scoring after Bilal El Khannouss (15 and 28) and Leweling (57). At 21 minutes, Benjamin Nygren scored for Celtic, for whom former Benfica player Paulo Bernardo played.

In this UEFA Europa League campaign, Stuttgart has earned 15 points in the group stage of the European competition, thanks to 5 victories, finishing in 11th place. If they advance to the round of 16, the German club could face Porto or Braga.

It is worth noting that Tiago Tomás was sold by Sporting to Wolfsburg in 2023 for around 10 million euros (8M fixed + 2M variable). The forward, trained in Alcochete, signed a contract with the German club after loan spells.

Wearing the Sporting jersey, Tiago Tomás - valued at 15 million euros - played 66 matches, scoring nine goals and providing four assists. The 22-year-old forward was part of the squad that won the National Championship (2020/21), the Super Cup (2022), and two League Cups (2020/21 and 2021/22).
