<p><strong>Podcast Intro: The Portugal Corner - Episode 177 - The Usual Suspects</strong></p><p>Welcome to The Portugal Corner! The podcast where we dive into all things Portuguese soccer—the good, the bad, and the funny!</p><p>It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and we’re celebrating with some Guinness</p><p>In a move that caught many by surprise, Chelsea has swooped in to secure two of Portugal’s brightest young stars—Quenda and Dario Essugo. The Blues locked in deals worth €50M and €20M, respectively, on delayed loans. With Chelsea’s track record of acquiring young talent, we discuss what the future holds for these rising midfielders and whether this move will help or hinder their development.</p><p>Portugal’s squad for the Nations League playoffs is out, and we analyze Roberto Martínez’s selections. Is the midfield trio of Vitinha, João Neves, and Bruno Fernandes the right call? Will these choices propel the team to victory, or do we see cracks in the foundation?</p><p>Sporting CP continues their dominant form, storming past Famalicão with a convincing 3-1 victory. The match saw Fresneda break the deadlock after a stunning run from "Thicc Vic". Famalicão kept things competitive by equalizing through a penalty just before halftime, but Sporting had the last laugh. "Thicc Vic" himself converts from the spot.</p><p>Returning to domestic action, Benfica faced Rio Ave and started strong with a stunning strike from Orkun Kökçü. However, despite going 2-0 up, two sloppy defensive mistakes—one notably from Tino—allowed Rio Ave back into the match. Fortunately, Aturkoglu stepped up to restore order, securing the much-needed three points.</p><p>Desperate for stability, Porto reverted to a back-four system, and it paid off with a solid 2-0 victory over AVS. Rising star Rodrigo Mora opened the scoring, bringing energy back into the squad. Fábio Vieira followed up with a thunderous one-timer to double the lead. AVS didn’t help their case as Ignacio Rodriguez saw red early in the second half, giving Porto the advantage for the final 45 minutes.</p><p>Guimarães’ European campaign ended in disappointment as Real Betis walked into Portugal and delivered a crushing 4-0 defeat. Even Antony found himself on the scoresheet. However, the team bounced back on the weekend with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Estrela Amadora, with Thomas Handel and Arcanjo providing the goals.</p><p>Bruno Fernandes continues to prove his worth, delivering a hat-trick (including two penalties) and an assist as Manchester United crushed Real Sociedad 4-1 in the Europa League. He followed it up with a goal against Leicester in a 3-0 weekend win, assisted by Dalot.</p><p>Jota Silva, shinea for Nottingham Forest, scoring in a vital 4-2 victory over Ipswich. Nuno Espírito Santo’s Nottingham Forest locks in third place with this crucial win.</p><p>PSG survived a Champions League scare, advancing past Liverpool on penalties. Vitinha and Ramos kept their cool from the spot, while Darwin Núñez’s miss proved costly.</p><p>On the domestic front, Nuno Mendes scored his first Ligue 1 goal of the season in Le Classique, helping PSG secure a 3-1 win over Marseille and extend their lead at the top to a staggering 19 points. We took some heat for not nominating Mendes for last week’s João Wonder—our bad!</p><p>Another game, another goal for CR7. Ronaldo netted his 928th career goal as Al-Nassr defeated Al-Kholood .</p><p>Toronto FC’s home opener didn’t go as planned, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Chicago Fire. </p><ul><li><strong>Stonk of the Week:</strong> A jaw-dropping goal from a Phoenix Rising player in the USL.</li><li><strong>João Wonder (Best Portuguese Player of the Week):</strong> Bruno Fernandes for his four-goal week, further cementing his place as one of Portugal’s top midfielders.</li></ul><p>Thanks for tuning in!
