Heads up, Sporting! Porto closing in on UEFA ranking, things could change | OneFootball

Sporting sees its position at risk due to Porto’s approach, at a decisive moment in the European competitions. The Dragons took an important step after their victory over Stuttgart – from Tiago Tomás –, a result that allowed them to gain ground and dangerously close in on the Lions.

With new matches just around the corner, the scenario could change quickly: If Sporting loses to Bodo/Glimt and Porto triumphs over Stuttgart, it will cause a swap in the standings between the two rivals. Sporting is in 18th place and the blue and whites are in 19th place.

Meanwhile, Benfica continues to stand out as the best-placed Portuguese club in the European rankings (14th), also benefiting from the recent eliminations of some direct competitors. In first place is Real Madrid, with 141,000 points.

. It is worth remembering that Gonçalo Inácio is one step away from reaching a historic milestone for Sporting in European competitions. The Lions’ center-back recently reached 28 matches wearing the club’s shirt in the Champions League, tied with Matheus Reis.

The green and white emblem thus takes the field next Tuesday, March 17, once again against Bodo/Glimt. The match, counting for the second leg of this Champions League round, against the team led by Kjetil Knutsen, will be played at 17:45, at Alvalade.
