Sporting player cleared after tough challenge in the Champions League | OneFootball

Salvador Blopa made his debut in the Champions League against Club Brugge last Wednesday, November 26, but the match was also memorable for the 18-year-old player for other reasons: the collision with Nordin Jackers, the opponent's goalkeeper, to whom he has already sent a message to apologize.

In the last play of the match, held at the José Alvalade Stadium, the young Lions player unintentionally caused an injury that forced the Belgian goalkeeper to leave the field on a stretcher. Right after the match, Blopa made sure to apologize for the incident, but he didn't stop there.

According to the Record newspaper, Salvador Blopa chose to send a message directly to Jackers, aiming to explain his intentions and apologize once again. The Club Brugge goalkeeper appreciated the concern from the Sporting player, whom he ended up absolving.

It is worth noting that Jackers left the José Alvalade Stadium directly for the hospital and, as a final diagnosis, was found to have two fractured ribs. Club Brugge has already communicated on their social media that the player is fine and will now face a six-week break.

This season, Salvador Blopa has played 15 matches for Sporting: nine in Liga 3 for the B team, three for the under-19s in the UEFA Youth League, and three in the main squad. In total, the winger has played 1,051 minutes, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
