Portuguese Football in English
On this week’s Long Ball Futebol podcast, Albert and Barney discuss not one, not two, but three (sort of) derbies in the Primeira Liga.
Braga host Minho rivals Vitória, Boavista host Porto in arguably Portugal’s most miserable derby, and Sporting dominate Estoril from the other side of Lisbon, plus a whole lot more.
This week Barney and Albert recap a fantastic week of football with two clássicos to dissect. Benfica and Braga play out a highly entertaining game separated by a single goal, and Sporting go top of the tree at Christmas with a comprehensive 2-0 win over Porto in a game full of drama.
We also take a look at the rest of the weekend’s fixtures and discuss how the table is shaping up heading into 2024.
