No one keeps a championship squad

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo2 September 2026 at 18:16

From the 2021 Portuguese champions Sporting, only three players remain in the current squad, after the departures of Pote and Bragança. The article acknowledges that these departures represent significant losses for the green and white club.

The text argues that this situation should not be seen as a tragedy, but rather as something natural and recurring in football. The tendency of championship clubs to lose their key players to bigger teams is described as a common phenomenon in sport.

By comparison, the article mentions that historic teams such as Ajax in 1995 and Porto in 2004 also faced major changes in their squads after winning championship titles, losing important players who moved on to other destinations.
