Sporting, who have been in crisis since Luisao scored that header at the Luz in 2005, are now in the crisis nadir, and it's bloidy hilarious.
Their hideous, narcissistic, numbskull, gangster wannabe president Bruno de Carvalho made his customary Facebook posting after Sporting went down admirably to Atletico Madrid 2-0 in the first leg. His post started with a call to arms, asking fans to fill avalade XXI for the return leg. Then, the next paragraph began with, "THIS IS WHAT I SAW:", after which, he slated every player by name.
The next day, players refused to train and later on, captain Rui Patricio released a damning statement on Instagram, which was later copied and posted by every player with a social media account.
Bruno de Carvalho's response? To suspend every player who protested against (suspension announced on Facebook!), declaring, "I'm fed up with these spoilt brats".
Return leg should be interesting. Pacos at 4/1 to beat Sporting in the league tomorrow night even more interesting.
