Look at the teams Torreense could play in the Europa League next season, while being a second division side!
Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen, Olympiakos, Marseille, Bournemouth, Sunderland...
What an unexpected adventure awaiting the town of Torres Vedras!

Cape Verde hero, goalkeeper Vozinha, plays in the second division of Portuguese football for Chaves. Today, at the age of 40, making his World Cup debut, he puts in the performance of a lifetime to see his small nation earn an outrageous draw against tournament favourites Spain.

You may have noticed my profile picture is taken in the Gil Vicente stadium - you could say my 'local' team - & where César Peixoto was managing this season. He did a great job in Barcelos. Close to a record-breaking season, which petered out. His first strong season as a manager

I can't say if he'll be a good appointment, this isn't like Nuno or Lage or Vitor Pereira, all of whom had some success at Wolves before it inevitably soured. Peixoto has come off a great season, but this is his first great season. He is much less proven, much less experienced.

Two red cards in a friendly match, and it's not even half time.
A tussle between Rafa Leão and Ivan Roman sees both men sent off, and this so-called 'friendly' will be 10 vs 10 in the second half. Still 0-0.

Rafael Leão leaving AC Milan this summer. He's not had the greatest season, but he's got considerable quality, I'm a massive fan of his.
A left winger available for potentially about €50M, I do think he'd be a great fit for Arsenal, it's exactly the position they need.

Moral of the story - sometimes players don't work out at certain clubs. And that's okay. It doesn't make them a bad footballer, it can be the opposite. Various factors dictate suitability of a player to a club. Vitinha is an extraordinary player. It just didn't work at Wolves.
Five years ago, Vitinha was struggling to break into Wolves' starting XI...
He's just won Player of the Match while lifting his second Champions League trophy 🏆

Yesterday, Torreense lost their promotion/relegation playoff against Casa Pia, confirming that the Portuguese Cup champions will be competing in the Europa League league stage next season - while also competing in the second division of the Portuguese game.

🚨 Francesco Farioli tells me there is "no doubt" he's staying at Porto despite links with several top clubs. Relationship with Andre Villas-Boas key to Farioli's decision.

This was quality from Braga last week - they tease us that João Moutinho is 'hanging up his boots' - before revealing that the story continues! The 39-year old Portuguese legend extends his stay at Braga.

Torreense win the Portuguese Cup from the second division and qualify DIRECTLY for the Europa League league phase, ahead of Benfica!
Benfica go from Europa League league phase to Europa League qualifiers.
Braga go from Europa League qualifiers to Conference League qualifiers.

Second division Torreense on the brink of winning the Portuguese Cup!
They lead Sporting 2-1 with under 10 minutes to go, and are on the verge of becoming the first EVER second tier side to win the Portuguese Cup.
This would also qualify them for next season's Europa League!
