O feito do Torreense, desafio do "fica, vende, empresta" e a surpresa que emocionou o zorlaK ⚽️ #53

The Portuguese Cup final brought a surprise, and that's how we opened this week's new episode of 'O Resto é Bola'! Torreense defeated Sporting at Jamor and became the first team from the 2nd division to win the Queen's Cup. The feat of the Oeste team immediately guaranteed them an unprecedented qualification for the League Phase of the Europa League, leaving Benfica in the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League and Sp. Braga in the 2nd qualifying round of the Conference League. The result of the final left 'our' zorlaK in a real bundle of nerves... CHALLENGE: STAY, SELL, LOAN The new episode, the last before Portugal's debut in the 2026 World Cup, brought a new challenge: "STAY, SELL, LOAN". We looked at the squads of FC Porto, Sporting, and Benfica and took on the role of football directors for those three clubs, dictating who we would choose for the 2026/27 season. Do you agree with Nuno1706 and zorlaK's opinions? Tell us everything in the comments! SURPRISE We waited until the end of the episode to surprise 'our' zorlaK. Want to know what it is?

Recorded on video and available on RTP Play, YouTube, and streaming platforms, “O Resto é Bola” combines serious analysis with moments of humor, locker room stories, and unique perspectives from those who live and breathe the “king of sports.” Because the game is played within the four lines of the pitch, but what surrounds it is often even more interesting – and the rest is just football.
