Sporting has the chance to be crowned national champion this weekend, in the Clássico against FC Porto, although it also needs 'help' from Benfica. In case of a triumph at the Estádio do Dragão, this Sunday, after a possible defeat of the eagles, this Saturday, against Sporting de Braga, the lions would end up 'stealing' an exclusive status from FC Porto when it comes to celebrating the conquest of a League in a rival's stronghold.
According to the newspaper A Bola, the dragons have already mathematically secured the title in the stadium of one of the direct competitors on five occasions, three of which happened against Benfica and two against Sporting.
The first occasion was in 1939/40, when FC Porto won at Benfica's home by 3-2, in the accounts of the last round, and the second time occurred only in the 90s. In 1994/95, in the first year of the penta, the blue and whites defeated Sporting in Alvalade, by 1-0, followed by another party in the lions' stronghold, in 1989/99, precisely in the year of the first penta.
Already in the 21st century, the dragons ended up causing Benfica's disappointment at the Luz in 2010/11, curiously with André Villas-Boas in technical command (1-2), repeating the feat eleven years later, in 2021/22, with a triumph at the fall of the curtain (0-1).
If Benfica falters against Sporting de Braga, this Saturday, the possibility opens up for Sporting to celebrate at the Dragão, this Sunday, against FC Porto, which would thus end up losing the exclusivity of the record of knowing what it is like to celebrate a title in the home of a rival.
