Although representing Alvalade, Leo continues to be a legend in Almaty

Leo took a moment to speak with the press after his side's UEFA Futsal Cup semi-final win this Friday, after receiving a memorable reception from the home crowd.

"We played really well against the European champion. We defended well against their strengths and they didn't know what to do. We took advantage of our opportunities and I really think we deserve to be in the final. We have been working hard since the start of the season to get where we are now. I thought we stood firm in defence."

Speaking about a fantastic applause from the home crowd, Leo added: "It was great. To play in front of the fans here and for them to show much love for me and Sporting CP was something I really wanted to happen."
