Carlos Lopes overjoyed with ECC win

Carlos Lopes was understandably proud with Sporting's historic win in the European Champions Club Cup Track and Field this weekend in Turkey.

"The board has put a lot of investment into the athletics department. Sporting has deserved this trophy for a long time and it was a trophy that was missing from our museum. We worked really hard and everyone believed we could do it", said the Sporting athletics boss in an interview with Sporting TV, adding: "It wasn't as easy as it looked and we did slip up in places, but little by little we are building up a team that will bring us a lot of moments like this. We had already won this title in the male competition and our ladies had already finished second and third."
