Final of the Portuguese Cup this Saturday, August 1st!

At the Estadio EFAPEL, the lair of the Academica de Coimbra, a historic Portuguese club, the two mastodons of Lusitanian football that is FC Porto and SL Benfica will clash and cut the country in two! Winners of La Liga Nos, the Portistas will certainly have no problem with the idea of achieving the double, especially in the face and beard of their great rivals.

But for the Benfiquistes, it will be both a question of honor, and to save face: indeed, the SLB was in the lead before the cut of the championship, but could not digest the 3 months off and regain his level of form when he resumed competition last month.

Especially since the club is the record holder for the number of victories in the cup, with no less than 26 successes, against only 16 for FC Porto. Who has not won the competition since 2011 …
