This Sunday, the mythical Jamor Stadium will host the Portuguese Cup final between Porto and Sporting. The match will start at 17:15 at the Estadio Nacional in Oeiras.
The Lions take to the field in search of the coveted double they haven’t achieved since 2000/01 to cap a season that borders on perfection.
In turn, the Dragons are trying to make winning the Queen’s Trial the lesser evil of a season that has fallen short of expectations. Added to this is the emotional burden of trying to hand Pinto da Costa one last trophy before saying goodbye after a record-breaking presidency in terms of longevity and titles.
