Salvador Blopa warns rivals after Champions League debut for Sporting | OneFootball

Rui Borges recently gave Salvador Blopa another debut, this time in the Champions League. The young green and white player has already reacted to this special moment in his career, and made a promise that these are just the first steps of his journey.

"Happy for my debut in the Champions League. Thank you all… This is just the beginning", wrote Salvador Blopa, the young Sporting player, in a post shared on his personal Instagram account shortly after the match against Club Brugge ended.

Responses came quickly, both from members of the main squad and from teammates in the green and white youth ranks. João Simões commented "your success is ours", and Alisson wrote "My boy". Hidemasa Morita added just one word: "Tunnel", referring to the tradition that Salvador Blopa was likely subjected to during the next Sporting team training session.

It should be recalled that Salvador Blopa was brought on by Rui Borges in the 76th minute of the Sporting - Club Brugge match, after having already played twice for the Lions this season. The youngster helped secure the 3-0 green and white victory, but ended up experiencing a difficult moment right at the end of the match, when he collided with the opposing goalkeeper, who ended up getting injured.

This season, Salvador Blopa has played 15 matches for Sporting: nine in Liga 2 for the B team, three for the under-19s in the UEFA Youth League, and three with the main squad. In total, the winger has played 1,051 minutes, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
