The Legacy
Telecel appeared on the front of this Adidas shirt as Sporting CP competed in the 1996-1997 Primeira Divisão. Sporting finished second in the league that year. The side relied on the technical ability of Pedro Barbosa in midfield, while Ricardo Sá Pinto and Ivaylo Yordanov led the attacking line. Octávio Machado managed the squad throughout the campaign. Sporting pushed Porto for the title but ultimately finished twelve points behind the eventual champions. This season saw the club participate in the UEFA Cup, where they faced Bologna in the first round.
