Things were going swimmingly for last term’s Serie A champions before their 2-0 loss at Manchester City on matchday one of the Champions League. Giovanni Di Lorenzo was sent off after 20 minutes, and Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku scored in the second half.

Napoli responded with a 3-2 home league win over Pisa, but they suffered their first Serie A loss of the campaign last weekend. Antonio Conte’s boys were beaten 2-1 by AC Milan at the San Siro, consequently losing top spot.

Sporting have made a strong start to their season, suffering just one defeat since losing to rivals Benfica in the Portuguese Super Cup at the end of July. Their only defeat came to Porto in the league, and the Lions have responded with four successive wins.

Sporting got their Champions League campaign up and running with a convincing home win over Kairat Almaty. Trincao (2), Alisson Santos, and Geovany Quenda netted in the 4-1 triumph at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
