Sporting didn’t even give Anderlecht room to dream. The thrashing against the Belgians (7-1) enabled the Lions to secure another European final. The sixth in seven years, which speaks well of the value of Nuno Dias’ team in futsal Europe.
With a devastating start, the Portuguese led 5-0 five minutes into the game, with goals from Cavinato, Tomás Paço, Alex Merlim, Edu Borges (own goal) and Hugo Neves, who scored twice in the second half. The lion count was closed by Erick Mendonça, while the goal of honor for the Belgians, who had knocked out title holders Barcelona, was scored by Jelovčić.
Nuno Dias’ team has ten appearances last four of the Champions League (called the UEFA Futsal Cup until 2018) and are looking for their third European title, having won the trophy in 2019 and 2021 and lost three more finals.
For a 100% Portuguese final, it is necessary that Benfica eliminate Palma Futsal this Friday (8 p.m.). The futsal Champions League final is scheduled for Sunday (7 p.m.) at Velòdrom Illes Balears in Palma de Mallorca and will be broadcast on Eleven sports.
