The club earn their 24th such honour in their history
Sporting Clube de Portugal were crowned Liga Portugal champions with two games remaining, with their only remaining title rival failing to win on Matchday 32 and following their own victory over Portimonense SC.
Three years after the last title, the side led by Rúben Amorim secured their 24th national championship honour with 84 points, and could even reach 90 if they win the two remaining games -which would beat the current record of 86.
The team took the top spot on Matchday 6 and, despite letting it slip five games later, they regained it in the following match. From then on, they were always frontrunners in the title race, with the exception of the period in which they had one less game played than their direct rivals, due to the postponement of the fixture away to Famalicão.
In total, Os Leões have 27 wins, three draws and two defeats, and have a perfect record in the 16 home league games played at the Estádio José Alvalade.
