Sporting CP Aims to Make History in Italy Against Napoli

Sporting CP faces Napoli in Italy, aiming to make history in the UEFA Champions League. The Portuguese side is led by coach Rui Borges, who expects a positive response despite never having won in the Champions League. The team's preparations were disrupted by a four-hour delay due to a technical issue on their plane, cancelling the pre-match press conference.

Napoli, the current Italian champions, have had a rocky start to their Champions League campaign, losing both their opening games. Sporting, meanwhile, has included young talents Rodrigo Ribeiro and Francisco Silva in their squad, with the duo aged 20 and 19 respectively. However, Nuno Santos and Daniel Braganca are unavailable due to injury.

Ousmane Diomande returns to the squad after a month and a half but will not start due to time off. The team's preparation was further affected by the delay, which disrupted their routine. Despite these challenges, Sporting is determined to secure their first win in Italy in a UEFA competition.

Sporting CP travels to Naples, seeking to make history in the UEFA Champions League. Despite a delayed journey and injury setbacks, the team is optimistic and ready to face the Italian champions. The match promises to be an exciting clash between two determined sides.
