**LISBON** – In a stunning upset, Sporting CP thrashed Manchester City 4-1 in the Champions League, showcasing the brilliance of manager Ruben Amorim, who is set to take over at Manchester United.

Viktor Gyokeres was the hero for Sporting, scoring a hat-trick, including two penalties, to seal the victory. The Swedish striker’s performance was a testament to Amorim’s tactics and the team’s ability to exploit City’s defensive vulnerabilities.

Phil Foden gave City an early lead but a string of missed chances allowed Sporting to capitalize. Gyokeres equalized before halftime, and Maximiliano Araujo added another goal early in the second half.

Erling Haaland had a chance to bring City back into the game but his penalty hit the crossbar.

Amorim’s exit from Sporting is bittersweet, as he prepares for a new challenge at Manchester United. His impressive performance against City has left fans buzzing and eagerly anticipating his arrival.

Despite the defeat, City still remains in contention for a Champions League knockout spot. However, manager Pep Guardiola will be facing a huge task in restoring the team’s confidence following a three-game losing streak.

This unexpected loss comes as a major shock to the football world and has sent shockwaves through both Manchester clubs. It will be fascinating to see how these events play out in the coming weeks as both clubs prepare for crucial fixtures.
