"50 games for Sporting. I am very happy and will always work to give my best. Great Champions League night. Thank you, Sporting fans, for the amazing atmosphere as always", wrote the left winger on his social media, along with some photos from the match.

Against the Kazakh side, Maxi Araújo played a total of 65 minutes before being replaced by Matheus Reis. The 25-year-old has had a turbulent start to the season, getting injured right in the first league match, against Casa Pia.

Since then, Ricardo Mangas has been Rui Borges’ first choice for the left flank of the green and whites, but with Maxi Araújo now fully recovered, the spot should return to the ‘number 20’, with the former Vitória de Guimarães player rotating in.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Maxi Araújo – valued at 17 million euros – has played only four matches. Over the 213 minutes he has been used by Rui Borges, the Uruguayan international has yet to score or assist his teammates.
