At the end of another season full of Portuguese involvement across the globe, we put together a Portuguese Abroad Team of the Season. As usual, it involved some tough decisions.
It was a special night in Athens on Wednesday, as Olympiacos ended their long wait for a European trophy by defeating Fiorentina 1-0 in extra time in the final of the Europa Conference League.
Olympiacos became the first Greek team to win a continental trophy at the OPAP Arena. They did so with five Portuguese players in the matchday squad, and it was a particularly emotional triumph for key men Daniel Podence and David Carmo.
Another year, another record for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portugal captain’s brace for Al Nassr on the final day of the Saudi Pro League took him onto 35 goals for the season – a new record for the competition.
Portugal stars Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes have been named winners of Manchester United’s end-of-season individual awards, demonstrating the extent to which the duo have maintained some credibility amid the Red Devils’ disastrous season.
It has been an abysmal season for Manchester United in the English Premier League, leading to much speculation over the future of many senior players at Old Trafford.
