Van Wolfswinkel at Sporting v Rio Ave, leaves a heartfelt message | OneFootball

The Sporting - Rio Ave (4-0) match, last Sunday, December 28, featured a very special presence in the stands of Estádio José Alvalade: Ricky van Wolfswinkel watched the convincing victory of the lions during the 16th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.

Through a social media post, the Dutch forward who played for Sporting thanked the reception from the green and white fans - who also noticed his presence and shared images of him at Alvalade - and said he still feels at home in the lions' den.

"There are places that never stop being home. Thank you all for the warm welcome. Sporting, always", reads the post shared by the 36-year-old forward on his personal Instagram account, accompanied by a video of the stadium.

Ricky van Wolfswinkel was a player for Sporting during the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons, being the top scorer for the green and white team in both seasons. In total, the Dutch striker scored 45 goals and provided four assists in 88 games.

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Friday, January 2, against Gil Vicente. The match, part of the 17th round of the National Championship, against the team led by César Peixoto, will be played at 6:45 PM in Barcelos.
