Football: Benfica battu, le Sporting Portugal champion

Sporting, for which this is the 20th championship title in its history, succeeds its great rival Lisbon, titled 38 times, eight better than FC Porto, currently third, 18 points behind the champion. The new champion, whose last national title dates back to 2021 after an 18-year drought, was eliminated this season in the round of 16 of the Europa League by Atalanta Bergamo. He will play in the next Champions League.

Their Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres, aged 25 and arriving from Coventry last summer, leads the scorers' charts with 27 goals. Sporting Portugal, which has only lost two league matches this season, has been coached since 2020 by Ruben Amorim, former international and player for... Benfica, aged 39. He thus won a second title at the head of Sporting after that of 2021.

His team can still achieve the double as they will meet FC Porto in the National Cup final on May 26.
