Estádio do Dragão

This guide to Estádio do Dragão in Porto opens on the stadium's debut on the sixteenth of November 2003, a friendly against Barcelona before a sold-out crowd. Among the substitutes sent on that night in a borrowed number fourteen shirt was a nervous sixteen-year-old nobody had come to see. He gets in behind the defense, rounds the goalkeeper, and somehow does not score; his manager tells him afterward, simply, that he missed a good chance.
