Daniel Bragança can make Sporting history, Santa Clara clash looms | OneFootball

Daniel Bragança is approaching a symbolic milestone in a Sporting shirt and could reach it in the next match against Santa Clara. If used by coach Rui Borges, the midfielder will make his 150th appearance for the first team.

A product of the Alcochete Academy, Daniel Bragança made his first-team debut in 2020. His first match came against Aberdeen, in a 1-0 win in the third qualifying round of the Europa League. The midfielder grew in importance under Ruben Amorim, the coach under whom he played most of his matches. Over that period, he established himself as a regular option in midfield.

Even with coaching changes and some serious injuries, Daniel Bragança has remained an important part of the Sporting squad. The transition to Rui Borges did not change the player’s status, as he continued to rack up minutes and importance. The midfielder has shown an ability to recover physically and maintain a competitive level.

The 26-year-old midfielder has already won several trophies with Sporting. His honours include three league titles, two League Cups and one Portuguese Cup. These titles underline the midfielder’s impact during the club’s latest successful spell. The possible match against Santa Clara - which has a secret weapon - may therefore become linked to a special moment in the player’s career

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Daniel Bragança - valued at €10 million - has scored three goals in 13 matches, also contributing to the team’s attacking play. Across his entire career with the lion on his chest, he has recorded 14 goals and 16 assists.
