Miguel Veloso in the Sporting warm-up at Alvalade. This was before the Champions League game Sporting 2-5 Barcelona, 2008. It was Matchday 5, Nov 26, 2008. Unfortunately I'm noticing a pattern with Sporting when they're losing by more than 2 goals with big clubs, they end up a committing a foul and giving the opponents a penalty and scoring an own-goal.
It happened for in Bayern M 7-1 Sporting. (Penalty foul on Klose, own goal by Polga.
It happened in this game too Sporting 2-5 Barcelona. Own goal this time by defender Caneira. At 2-3, Caneira met a ball in the area and clipped it over his own keeper and into the net via the crossbar to put the visitors two ahead once again. This time Rui Patricio got sent-off for committing a foul on Bojan. That meant a penalty for Barcelona. Sporting had to first replace Rui Patricio with the 2nd choice goalkeeper, Tiago. Tiago reached for the ball but couldn't stop it.

Maniche was on the bench for this important game for Atletico. He was a substitute in the 73rd minute in FC Porto 0-0 Atletico, March 10, 2009.
Unlike Simão Sabrosa and Paulo Assuncão, Maniche was applauded by the FC Porto fans in the stands when he came on! Maniche was in the FC Porto team that won the Champoins League. Simão I assume still represents Benfica for the FC Porto fans.

On March 11 2009, Betis Goalkeeper Ricardo was the player chosen for the Betis press conference. He referred to the last Betis result, the away draw Mallorca 3-3 Betis, and losing the 0-3 lead.
Video and English translation:
"In Mallorca I had the impression that they would have still tied the game even if we'd be winning by 0-6"
("En Mallorca tuve la sensación de que nos hubieran empatado incluso su fuéramos ganando 0-6")

00:00 "Let me tell you, the sensation, well, it's not that good. I was left with the sensation, that it was even worst than losing. If they told you at the beginning of the game, allright, we'll tie the game, then sure, we'd have signed for it. It was against a direct rival. Now, winning 0-3 in minute 71, I think that almost loing a game, it's too hard."
00:57 About the 3-3 draw:
Goalkeeper Ricardo: "After winning by 0-3, the normal thing for us would have been to score the 4th goal or even the 5th goal, because they had begun to attack. The normal thing would have been to do 2 or 3 more counter-attacks and score one goal."
01:05 "However, we couldn't neglect the defense area a lot. We needed to go forward more. Like I say, when a team wins, it's not just he strikers that score goals. When the team defends, everyone has to do the same. We made lots of errors and each one has to take responsibility for them. I think we need to be more considerate of the teammates. When we need to catch up it's harder than defending a lead of 2-0 or 3-0.
02:00 "I had the impression that if we would be winning by 0-6-they woiuld have tied the game to 6-6. It's too hard. I think it was in 4 or 5 minutes where they tied the game.
02:32 "One can see character in the difficulties, because when everything is going fine it's easy to do anything. One needs a lot of internal and external strength. We're in a point of the season that there can be no more talk. There is no more time for talk, There's only time to do the right things. That is for each one to do his best, staff, players, everyone. It has to be a very strong block to withstand it when things go wrong. I am 100% sure that the fans will be supporting us. It's like that. People can get fed up. But there aren't many fans like these."
Not on video:
What happened the other day [draw] has to be for us something that should not happen again. One gets that by training."

Rui Patricio was to blame for the first 2 goals. How much did this game affect his chances to make it to the Portugal call-up list?
No captain Moutinho here. They chose to highlight that it was the worse aggregate result in the group stage knock-off round.
"The Sporting fans didn't deserve this."
João Moutinho on the cover of Record the day after Bayern Munich 7-1 Sporting. The numbers referring to the 5 goals in the first leg, 12 the aggregate score against them, 12-1

The wost ever lion-
CHANGE THE 5-
ENDS UP WITH 12
João Moutinho: "We are very ashamed of ourselves."
Of course it's embarassing to concede 7 goals. It's understandable that the four dozen fans chanted to a tune 'vergogna.' 'You are a shame, only a shame, a shaaame, only a shame.'
These fans went to Alvalade to yell at the Sporting team bus. The security personnel moved the fans away from the bus. The fans then went to see the players leave Alvalade from the usual door.
It turns out that the Sporting team, players and staff, left from the other side of the stadium leaving journalists and fans waiting. This was around 3 in the morning.
Yesterday Sporting had lost: Bayern Munich 7-1 Sporting.
