The draw in Alvalade with Sporting on Sunday and FC Porto’s victory in Famalicão postponed the decision to award the title to next Saturday, with the two rivals separated by two points. In the entire history of the 88 editions of the I Liga, 30 decisions have already been made in the final round and only once was the champion not the club that came in as the leader. Of these 30 decisions, in 10 the reds reached the final round in the lead and confirmed the trophy.
This Saturday, Benfica will receive Santa Clara in Luz and FC Porto V. Guimarães in Dragão, with both games scheduled for 6 p.m. And the calculations are very simple: in the case of a win, the eagles celebrate the title, and even a draw should be enough, because in the case of a tie on points, the tiebreak is the difference between goals scored and goals conceded and it would be necessary for the dragons to beat the Guimarães by 12 goals. If Benfica is defeated and FC Porto wins, the team of Sérgio Conceição celebrates.
