Sporting Lisbon vs FC Barcelona History

Though they are dubbed Portugal’s ‘third team’, the Verde e brancos have achieved a great deal in European competitions over the years. Their first European Cup campaign came in 1955/56, and in 1982/83, they fought their way to the Quarter-Finals of the competition before being defeated by Real Sociedad. Their first UEFA Champions League appearance was secured in 1997/98, and in 2008/09, they reached the knockout phase for the first time, losing to Bayern Munich 12-1 on aggregate. In 2021/21 they reached the same phase, this time going down to Manchester City.

FC Barcelona finally got their hands on the famous trophy in 1991/92 when Ronald Koeman scored a screamer to see the Catalan giants defeat Sampdoria at Wembley Stadium; this came after two previous finals losses. Between 2005 and 2015, the La Liga side experienced their strongest run of form. Arsenal were edged out in the 2006 final in Paris before a Lionel Messi-led side defeated Manchester United in two classic UEFA Champions League Finals in 2009 and 2011. In 2015, FC Barcelona racked up their sixth top-tier title when they eased past Juventus 3-1 in Berlin.

Sporting Lisbon vs FC Barcelona Head-to-Head

The first time these two teams met in competitive European action came in the group stages of the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League. On that occasion, FC Barcelona’s visit to the Portuguese capital was a profitable one. Thierry Henry, Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Bojan Krkic were among the scorers in a 5-2 thrashing. In 2017, another away win against Sporting Lisbon was secured; this time, the only goal of the game came from Sebastian Coates, netting an own goal to give FC Barcelona a narrow victory.

Sporting Lisbon vs FC Barcelona Mutual Connections

A number of players have plied their trade with both teams, but by some distance, the most accomplished star to do so is Portuguese international legend Luis Figo. The attacking midfielder started his career at Sporting Lisbon and played 158 games for the club, scoring 23 goals, before he made the big-money move to FC Barcelona in 1995. Over the course of his five seasons at Camp Nou, Figo became a fan favourite, scoring 45 goals in his 249 games and helping the team to two La Liga titles. He then made the contentious decision to transfer to hated rivals Real Madrid in 2000, angering Barca supporters in the process.
