Sporting Lisbon 4-1 Man City: In-form Viktor Gyokeres nets stunning hat-trick as Man United-bound Ruben Amorim triumphs in his farewell match... with Erling Haaland missing from the penalty spot
Underneath his unzipped hooded top, the taxi driver who got out of his cab in the rank at Lisbon airport wore a sky-blue Manchester City shirt with Etihad Airways emblazoned on the front. He mentioned the name of Ruben Amorim and I asked him if he was pleased he was leaving Sporting. Amorim had called City the best team in the world and Pep Guardiola the best coach in the world but he dismantled both of them. For all the talk of bitterness towards Amorim among the Sporting support, there was none on show. The Sporting fans trailed away into the night, to the Campo Grande metro station and to their cars parked in the neat suburb of Alvalade.
