Boavista - "Moor" version
|
Once upon a time, football was dominated in Portugal by the two national teams: Sporting, whose symbol is a lion, and Benfica represented by an eagle.
The two best regional teams, F.C. Porto and Belenenses (from Lisbon), were the challengers, composing the group called "the four big ones". About 40 years ago Porto decided to reverse that domain, and upgraded local F.C. Porto, symbolized by a dragon, to a national level. Belenenses was "expelled" from the top, and a fourth team was needed to compose the big four. |

Who should it be? Of course, someone from Porto - Boavista F.C, that adopted a panther as symbol.
The monument of Boavista celebrates that event: My Sporting (the lion), beats Benfica (the eagle), that largely dominated the scene, in the seventies. Excellent. Now: Can you find the panther and dragon in the statue? |
Don't waste your time - they are both out, buying referees
