Never forget the time at Rio Ave when goalkeeper Jan Oblak was sent off v Porto at the Estádio do Dragão. Substitute goalkeeper Ederson was then brought on.
Talk about depth.
One of the best football related videos we’ve watched in a while.
Dário Essugo, who turned 16 years of age six days ago, is brought to tears after making his Primeira Liga debut for Sporting.
Just look how much it means to him.
Moussa Marega incident for those that haven’t seen it, 100% within his rights to want to leave the field. FC Porto, Sérgio and the Liga need to stand by him and make sure that this incident goes punished.

He’s done it.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored his 760th goal and is now the footballer with the most goals in the history of the sport.
The boy from Madeira who had a dream of breaking records.
Absolutely incredible.
Nice moment between Julen Lopetegui and Rúben Neves.
It was under Lopetegui that Neves became the youngest ever Portuguese player to play in the Champions League, the youngest ever Champions League captain and the then youngest ever Porto player to score in the Primeira Liga.

Thoughts are with Nanu and hoping he makes a rapid recovery, injured following a collision with the goalkeeper.
The ambulance is still on the pitch.
Porto players look absolutely distraught, Pepe in tears.
Força Nanu. ❤️
