The Legacy
Octávio Machado managed Sporting CP to a second-place finish in the 1996-1997 Primeira Divisão. Adidas produced this away kit during the club's partnership with Telecel. Ivaylo Yordanov provided a physical presence in the final third, while Ricardo Sá Pinto continued to offer technical flair in attack. Pedro Barbosa dictated much of the play from midfield throughout the campaign. Sporting CP reached the semi-finals of the Taça de Portugal but ultimately finished behind Porto in the league table. These players formed the core of an attacking side that remained competitive domestically.
