Regardless of what Benfica does this Sunday in Barcelos, the eagles are five points behind the lions and will always be behind them even if they win. It was the first league victory by the smallest margin

Alone at the top in time to open gifts. Sporting did not like the feeling of being an isolated leader during the Christmas break 19 years ago, since they will have at least two points more than Benfica, who, with five, still play their last game this Sunday, against Gil Vicente . , in Barcelos, before the competitive stop.

The lions, in 2001, guaranteed a breakthrough that gave motivation and that, six months later, would deliver the last championship won by greens and whites.

Yesterday Saturday, for the first time in this championship, the lions won by the smallest margin, curiously repeating the two results 1-0 against Farense in 2000/01 and 2001/02.

Despite a lower offensive production and effectiveness facing the goal, it was until the second when the lions went to rest without scoring goals, the truth is that Rúben Amorim’s men equal the records of Jorge Jesus on matchday 10, which in 2015/16 and 2017/18 also managed to score 26 points, which is the club’s best record since the win is worth three points.

Sporting remains undefeated in domestic competitions, after the challenges overcome by the Portuguese Cup and the League Cup, with a well-padded national shoe.
