Welcome to The Portugal Corner, the podcast where we talk all things Portuguese soccer—the good, the bad, and the funny! This week, we dive into a range of thrilling matches, surprising results, and standout performances across Portugal and beyond.

• Porto has a tough day at the Quarry, losing 1-0 to Braga, with Joao Moutinho stealing the spotlight at 38 years old. Is Porto’s 3-back system working? Or are the players just not vibing with the new coach?
• Benfica struggles to find the net against Barcelona at the Luz, but manages to bounce back with a commanding win over Nacional. Meanwhile, Sporting continues to impress with a 3-1 win over Casa Pia, leading the league with 48 goals in 46 games.
• Guimaraes stays undefeated in Europe with a draw against Real Betis and secures another win over Boavista in the league.
• In other exciting news, Goncalo Ramos continues his stellar season with PSG, and Raphael Guerreiro scores twice for Bayern Munich—but it’s Joao Palhinha’s red card that steals the headlines.
• And don’t miss the latest on Ronaldo’s 927th career goal, and what fans are saying about his performance at 40 years old.
