the contrast of titles between Portuguese and Spanish
There were 16 Portuguese players to win the title this season, against only eight Spaniards.
It is a happy Portugal with a spirit of conquest that, next Thursday, in Seville, will face Spain in the opening round of the 2022/23 Nations League. A very good state of mind that is due to the many achievements of this season on the part of a slice of a slice of the positive flavors by Fernando Santos for this stage, in contrast to what happens in the lesser Spanish team, which had good trophies on the part of your players.
In fact, winning the season is almost the opposite: while 16 players from Portugal celebrate trophies this and only ten years with empty hands, on the Spanish side it was the opposite, with eight unlucky elements of titles, leaving 17 without the right to elements.
Interestingly, yesterday’s Champions League final held in Paris could in no way change this specific accounting, since the Portuguese Diogo Jota had already won the title (England Cup and League Cup) and, to the contingent, the yesterday’s finalist teams are already playing with footballers who had also played this season (Thiago Alcá in the reds, Asens jal in the merengues).
The Champions League ended up being the most coveted title of all, obviously, transmitting a very special, and very fresh, joy for the two Real players who will travel to Spain tomorrow, still in complete euphoria. But this was a time that, level turns out to be important in many issues for several, namely for those countries that are similar champions.
United’s trio come in the opposite direction
Natória of the Portuguese team, for example, that’s exactly what happened with the four elements that belong to the FC Porto staff, all the national champions of Portugal (and this in addition to the main internal cup, in an always so tasty double), but also , for example, with, for example, the English forward, who ended up being elected as the best Italian champion of Serie A. , as well as Nuno Mendes and Danilo, French champions, although these only confirm the immense favoritism they already had the game. And we are still mentioned, therefore, three top European football countries, plus all the feats.
In this Portuguese case, the only thing left was the triumphant, triumphant selection of Manchester United, it had a time kept in a white aspect, but it is isolated, in a club that got used to one, which this time was made in a white aspect. Zero “titoli”, as Jorge Jesus used to say. And for Ronaldo, the disappointment had even more impact, since, in his entire career, only in two seasons has he not won any trophy (2004/05 and 2009/10).
All in all, nine Portuguese players were national champions this season. And on the Spanish side? Just: Just: Alegria alongside Bernardo and João Cancelar celebrated at Manchester City England, and even after Carro, Asensio at the party of three, Rodrios, que scepter, scepter of body and soul at Bernardo’s party, que teal me scepter of body and soul at Bernardo’s party, how I scepter body and soul at the party.
