"A victory for FC Porto or a draw will end the championship"

"A victory for FC Porto against Sporting or a draw will sentence the championship. If Sporting wins, it is not a guarantee that they can win the title, but it is very close, as it would greatly increase their confidence levels and make the hosts of the FC Porto", analyzed the former defender of 'lions' (1991-1996) and 'dragons' (1998-2002).

FC Porto, isolated leader of the I Liga, with 59 points, welcomes Sporting, second, with 53, on Friday, at 20:15, at Estádio do Dragão, in Porto, in the opening match of the 22nd round , which can have a relevant weight in the accounts of the first place, when there will be 12 rounds to go.

"FC Porto has been more regular for a long time now. Besides, they play at home, in a very difficult field for their opponents", he said.
