A door closes, a window opens: Disappointed to know that SC Braga had more than enough quality to continue in the Europa League, but confident that Artur Jorge's team can go very far in the Conference League!

✅ Malmo 0-2 SC Braga⠀
✅ SC Braga 1-0 Union Berlin ⠀
❌ SC Braga 1-2 Saint Gilloise⠀
🟠 Saint Gilloise 3-3 SC Braga⠀
❌ Union Berlin 1-0 SC Braga⠀
✅ SC Braga 2-1 Malmo⠀
⠀
SC Braga started this Europa League group stage very well.
He won in Sweden and won a categorical victory against Union Berlin, the 1st place in the Bundesliga!
The problem came later, with the double journey against Saint Gilloise... those 2 games with the Belgians turned out to be decisive in the outcome of the group's accounts.
⠀
At home, winning until the 85th minute, Artur Jorge's team ended up losing.
In Belgium, after going into halftime winning 3-1, SC Braga was tied in the 2nd half.⠀
⠀
Oa Braga had more than enough conditions to finish in one of the first 2 places in this group!
More than 3rd place was expected…⠀
⠀
That said, in February, SC Braga will be the first Portuguese club to participate in the knockout phase of the Conference League.
⠀
Judging by the teams present in the Conference League, Artur Jorge's team can perfectly dream of winning the competition!
⠀
I am confident that SC Braga's participation in the Conference League can bring great benefits to both the club and Portuguese Football, in terms of UEFA Ranking!
