THE This Thursday, the sports press highlights the two biggest themes of the moment: FC Porto’s victory against Napoli (4-1), the first in this edition of the Champions League, and the presentation of Paulo Fonseca as Sporting’s new coach.
At Benfica, note the rotation that Marco Silva should promote, tonight, when he welcomes Lech Poznan, in another Europa League game. Torreense is also going to play, against Ararat, in Armenia.
In the Conference League, Sp. Braga is in Denmark to face Aarhus.
