Sebastián Coates following his Sporting debut

Sebastián Coates was the big surprise in the Sporting line-up this Monday night. The Uruguayan looked solid at the heart of the Alvalade defence, with just the three points missing at the final whistle.

“We wanted to win, but we are still at the top and everything is still in our hands. We aren't feeling pressure, because we are only thinking about what we have to do. Personally I felt good, but I am part of a group that likes to win. Of course I am here to win the title. I am not happy with the draw, but we are still at the top", said the defender at the final whistle.
