    Portugal has got some cracking stadia, wonder how they can afford it though? I mean the Euro's in '04 when they were all built but that amount, jesus. And who decided which teams were assigned what? Benfica's is stunning though.

    Porto's Estadio de Dragao (€98 million):

    Mid-season.

    League:
    1. Benfica - 38 points
    2. Porto - 34 points
    3. Braga - 32 points
    4. Sporting - 30 points
    5. Vitória - 30 points

    European competitions:
    Benfica and Porto still in the Champions League. They'll face Borussia Dortmund and Juventus (you better hide your wallets during the Porto - Juventus).

    Portuguese cup:
    Benfica and Sporting are the main favorites (Porto out).

    League Cup:
    Benfica, Porto and Sporting still in.


    i) Benfica had 44 victories in 2016, a club record. Only Barcelona won as many games during the civil year.
    ii) Benfica had, on average, over 55000 fans at home games, a record in the new Estádio da Luz. Only Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern, Real Madrid, Schalke 04 and Arsenal had more fans while playing at home.
    iii) Porto started the season on a low but seems to be picking up it's pace.
    iv) Sporting, and Jorge Jesus, are the biggest disappointments of the season. Jorge Jesus is keeping his well-earned fame of ignoring youth talents and failed to progress in Europa, losing the 3rd place to Legia.

    The bet in Rui Vitória and Seixal is paying off. Ederson, Nélson Semedo, Lindelof, André Horta, Gonçalo Guedes and many to come.

    Benfica won 4 leagues in a row for the first time. 36. Doubled Sporting's 18 titles.

    Portugal won the Eurovision.

    Éder is beautiful.

    What a time to be alive.

    Congrats, Luz.

    Never really had a preference of side in Portugal, although I do own a Sporting top due to the obvious colours (apologies).

    Ederson, the Benfica keeper looks very good, can see him going far.
