There is that tab for the story. History also the Braga match played under its highly exceptional, a true accordion into play vibrant, full of heroism and dedication to the limit. The same formula that allowed him to leave in the ditch at Liverpool, Lech Poznan, Dinamo Kiev, in Seville, Celtic ... in a fantastic season. The same formula that allowed him to beat Arsenal and-twice-to Partizan Belgrade. Can not ask for more. Whatever happens in the final in Dublin, before the FCPorto, Braga has already written a page of gold, formidable in every way, in the great book of European football. Never any club with a budget as low as proletarian club might say, had come so far ... But is true and that is what many might consider a miracle football.
a header PERFECT
a header PERFECT
ran 19 minutes and out of a corner kick, midfielder Custódio rose superbly to head flawless finish, earning him the jump and Luisao Jardel, leaving and put these ridiculous and 1-0, which eventually would be final. A goal for history, next to which Vandinho had scored in the Estadio da Luz. The great captain and his natural replacement in the game this Thursday, has sealed a two-goal at Braga gave final passage to the Irish ...
The Sporting Braga midfielder, who scored on Thursday, Custodio, who beat Benfica goal and his team now ranked in the final of the Europa League, considered to be "a group of heroes" and "a true warriors. "All that remained on the bench and in the stands are also heroes.

THE TRIUMPH OF AUTHENTICITY
Thus, in the end, the triumph of authenticity, the passion soccer, football, truth, honesty football, soccer, shame ... Was the demonstration, over an entire season, that even without money, you can go far, we just have to respect arbitration, that no injuries, that there was no binding this season, not bad luck with some signings, remember what the Braga suffered in the first half of the season. With patches, with matches which had only 13 players available to align professionals as mandated UEFA Braga has reached where no or almost no thought. Has achieved what seemed impossible. For that its success is a credit very difficult to express in words. The luck of having lived close to seeing each and every one of their games this season, possibly leading us now write more dam of emotion and feeling of coldness, it is fair to say. But ... Wow! : Does the game is meaningless without emotion, without feeling, without those core values, precisely, Braga has managed to embody to perfection?.
LOT OF MERIT
LOT OF MERIT
has much merit this has Braga achieved because it is the vindication of the football deep sense of dignity of the least powerful, the pride of a community of thousands of followers and loyal fans who never turned their backs on their team and it ended up being on wings game after game. He was right that British magazine specializing in football, describing the fans of Braga as one of the three most powerful in the world, "are pure feeling" the article of that reporter who spent three years traveling endless fields Europe to analyze the behavior of the mass associations of different clubs. Scoring not how much, but how ... And he was right in the case of the fans' arsenals. "

Braga has really grown over the last decade, especially for 6-7 years here. .. From the hand of the current president Antonio Salvador, a policy always realistic, Sporting Braga has climbed stairs in the Portuguese League, last year, runner-up, "and now, above, comes to a European final. Can not ask for more. It is the great reward for a job well done, with errors, like everything human, but with undoubted successes, in the end, are reflected in the very important achievements that the club has achieved.
And most importantly, all earned. Because the press, especially the sports-media in general, few exceptions have distinguished themselves by denying the Braga bread and salt ... permanently. It is shameful the cover of Sports Record, Friday, instead of highlighting the exploits of Braga, devotes the vast majority of its cover to worry about the "bad luck" of Benfica ... It is not news that the child bite the dog ... for these unfortunate-and servile-write, the news of great cover remains that the dog bites the child ... This example, which is simply one of endless grievances that Braga has suffered so far, marked out a path forward against all odds, without external support of any kind, only-yes-that of his faithful followers and is fair to recognize, the House Municipal de Braga, whose president, engineer Mesquita Machado, was not wrong when on the eve of the 2004 European embarked on building a great stadium today is the pride of the city and excellent stage for success has been reaching its logical and beneficial natural, Sporting Clube de Braga.
