Rivals on the pitch Rui Costa, president of Benfica, and Frederico Varandas, president of Sporting, were seen this Monday exchanging secrets and greetings at a sporting awards event organized by the Portuguese Institute of Sports and Youth in Lisbon.
Top managers from the rival Lisbon clubs greeted each other upon arrival and ended up sitting next to each other in the hall.
In an atmosphere of great cordiality, they exchanged opinions, at times even showing great complicity, trying to cover their mouths during conversation so that others would not read their lips.
Sporting are leading the standings while they are the only unbeaten team in League One. The Lions have not been so lucky in the Europa League, having already lost once to Atalanta and are second in Group D.
Benfica, which lost the first match, has one point less than Alvalade. The Champions League is not going well for Roger Schmidt’s men, who have lost two matches in two matches. The Reds play on Tuesday against Real Sociedad.
