Casa Pia Lisbon's Resurgence
Casa Pia Lisbon, affectionately known as 'The Geese,' have been making headlines in the Primeira Liga with their remarkable rise. After an 83-year absence, they returned to the top flight in 2022, driven by a transformation under new leadership. Despite initial setbacks this season, they have lost only twice since then, to Porto and Sporting CP, and currently sit seventh in the league. Their recent draw against Benfica showcased their resilience and tactical acumen, with Nuno Moreira emerging as a key player in their success.

Despite a recent setback against AVS Futebol SAD, they remain a formidable force in the league.
