Return to Alvalade! Sporting v Braga saw a familiar face in the stands | OneFootball

Viktor Gyokeres returned to Alvalade Stadium. The former forward of Sporting was present in the stands of the lion's den, from where he watched his former team draw one-all against Braga last Sunday, October 5th, in a match for the eighth round of Liga Portugal.

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

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

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

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