Sporting fans were not indifferent to the recent post by Ricardo Mangas' girlfriend, which shows that the footballer has supported the Lions since he was a child.

To mark the fact that her teammate is the Lions' new signing, Carly Santos Mangas posted some images of Ricardo Mangas on her Instagram page, including an old portrait of him wearing a Sporting shirt when he was still a child.

"Paula Fernandes once said: 'I once dreamed of life, now I'm living a dream.' You've dreamed of this shirt since you were little. And today, that dream is officially your reality," Carly Santos Mangas began by writing in the caption.

"At every moment in your career when you felt undervalued or wronged, I reminded you that one day all your hard work, effort, and professionalism would be noticed and rewarded. And that day has finally arrived. I see up close, every day, how much you dedicate yourself to this profession. How much you give even when no one is watching. The discipline that sets you apart and the absurd love you have for what you do," he continued.

"To all the fans of this great club: know that you have gained (another) great player. You have gained someone who will wear this jersey with the greatest pride in the world, who will fight for every victory, who will respect and honor the history of this club as if it were his own... because now it is too. Know that you have gained another heart full of determination on the field and other (now two) hearts who will watch and cheer assiduously from the stands. You can be sure that he has arrived to give his all, as he always has. For your club. For his. For ours," he added.

"My love, you are the best (super) athlete, the best professional, the best friend, the best son, the best brother, the best husband, and the best future father. I know all your facets, and I am completely in love with each one of them," she continued.

"May God bless this new stage of yours, this dream of yours, in our life and in your career. I will always be here, celebrating each achievement with you, being your lap, applauding and cheering for you. Forever your little princess, your eternal biggest fan," he concluded.

The post sent Sporting fans into a frenzy. "Welcome to the kingdom of the lion"; "Welcome to the best club in the world and may you be very happy here"; "Welcome back to the green and white family"; "If you've been a lion since you were little, you're already in our green hearts! Best wishes with our (your) jersey. We're together cheering for our Sporting Clube de Portugal." These are some of the many messages Ricardo Mangas's girlfriend received in the comments section.

It's worth noting that it was this Thursday, July 7th, that the signing of Ricardo Mangas as Sporting's new signing became official. The left-back arrives at Alvalade from Spartak Moscow for a fee of around €300,000, having signed a contract valid until 2029, with a €60 million release clause.
