Fervor abounds in Luanda as sports enthusiasts rejoice over their team's triumph and bask in the glory of their hard-earned title.
With jubilant cheers, heartfelt applause, and embrace-worthy victories, Nuno Aires, president of the Sporting supporters' nucleus in Luanda, couldn't suppress his sheer elation and contentment as they claimed the coveted trophy.
"This is off the charts, an entirely unique experience! We fought tooth and nail for this, and we truly earned it more than any other team, so we're absolutely ecstatic today!" he asserted emphatically.
At 47, Igor Couceiro could barely contain his raw emotions as he spoke, confessing that this victory was particularly special. After all, it was the first time he had witnessed Sporting secure back-to-back titles, a feat not achieved since 1951.
"It's tough to find the words… There's so much emotion here at Ponto 7. I've been 47, and I've seen Sporting win numerous times. But this victory… It's something else. An immense tide of emotion, especially given the challenges and rollercoaster of a season we faced – the issues, the injuries, the coaching changes. Yet, to end up as champions is ineffable," he candidly confessed.
When the referee, Fábio Veríssimo, finally blew the final whistle, it transformed the anxious nerves of the Sporting fans into unbridled joy. Bruna Ribeiro confessed that she had initially feared losing the title.
"I've nothing more to say. I've been a die-hard Sporting fan my entire life. Last year I was in Marquês Pombal celebrating this title, and now I'm here in Luanda, celebrating the same emotion as if I were in Lisbon. I was a bit tense during the game, but that's what it means to be a Sporting fan – facing trials and tribulations while still believing," she passionately explained.
Even the youngest fans refused to miss the opportunity of witnessing Sporting lift their 21st title, achieved after vanquishing Vitória de Guimarães 2-0, allowing them to seal the 91st edition of the championship with an impressive 82 points and claim their third title in five years.
