Missing Sporting? Viktor Gyokeres returns to a place where he once thrived | OneFootball

Viktor Gyokeres was back at the Estádio de Alvalade. The former forward of Sporting was present in the stands of the leonine home, where he watched the 1-1 draw between the green and whites and Braga, in a match played on Sunday, October 5, for the eighth round of the Liga Portugal.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, the Arsenal forward made a stop in Lisbon before joining the training camp for Sweden's international commitments, where he took the opportunity to return to a place where he was once happy and reunite with many of his former teammates.

This visit ended up being noteworthy, as it was the first time Viktor Gyokeres returned to Lisbon and Sporting's grounds since he forced his departure from the Alvalade Club in the last transfer window, tarnishing the relationship he had with many of the leonine fans in the process.

It is worth remembering that, while wearing the green and white stripes, Viktor Gyokeres became one of the greatest players in the history of the green and white emblem. During his two-season stint with the lion on his chest, the Swede scored 97 goals and provided 28 assists in a total of 102 games.

After the draw with Braga, Sporting will only return to the field on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, counting for the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Estádio Capital do Móvel, at 8:15 PM.
