2-1 does not guarantee it, but we would have +7 GD on Dortmund so unless they catch up to us on that we would go through. But a 2 goal win today is guaranteed.
Dortmund players should be ashamed of themselves. Weak penalty from Pote but Porro was just determined to get that rebound, no urgency from anyone but him
Vamooooooosss It's over. We're through!!! Huge result. And much needed money. This is where we need to be every year
Pandemic aside, 2021 might be one of the best years of my life as a Sportinguista. Finally winning the title and finally back in CL advancing to knockouts... man, it simply can't get any better than this. So damn proud of this team!!
And not a coincidence that we're seeing better results now that VAR is a thing. How many times did we lose titles due to penalties, offsides etc that were either non existent or not called?
SCP this season so far will collect a total of 45M euros in prize money. 27M for group stage presence 8.4M for the results so far (2.8M for each win) 9.6M for qualifying to Round of 16 Might not be over though. Although the last game won't change the standings, a win vs. Ajax would be another 2.8M as well as any possible result in either leg in the knockout rounds.
Although there is one more matchday, we already know who 4 potential opponents will be, as they have already secured 1st place in the group. We obviously can't face Ajax from our group. Manchester City Liverpool Bayern Munich Manchester United The remaining opponents to be decided: Real Madrid or Inter Milan - Real sit 2 points ahead and host Inter, so they are favourites to finish 1st. Lille/Salzburg/Sevilla/Wolfsburg - This group could literally be anyone as it's really really tight, although right now Lille sit on 8 points at the top Chelsea or Juventus - Both are qualified, Chelsea just need to win their last game at Zenit though to confirm 1st place. Who would you like to get? Obviously the Lille group is the one we would have most chances with. But obviously its highly likely we get a big team. I'd love a shot at revenge at Real Madrid from that last game in Madrid we almost won. Man United too
Lille is the obvious one but other than that I would say Juventus or inter are probably teams we can beat if we play well and things go our way. Man United might seem like a good matchup but you know Ronaldo and Bruno will be motivated worst case scenario is Liverpool or Bayern
The final is in Saint Petersburg. Anyone know what the odds are on Sebastian Coates lifting the European cup in Saint Petersburg in may of 2022?
Pote was voted the European player of the tournament for matchday 5. Rightly so. Let's enjoy him boys while we can and hopefully the scouts are already looking at replacements.
