- I flew from Glasgow to Lisbon to visit one of European football's greatest rooftop bars... but it didn't quite go to plan.
I'm in Portugal for the next three weeks and in this first vlog I visited the Estádio da Luz (Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica). I'll be taking the stadium tour soon and will also be making videos involving Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Boavista, Braga and more!!!

Always a good day when footy adventures uploads
Legend thank you. Lots more coming from this amazing country soon!!!
Hearts fan is well
Benfica stadium so good
You're not coming to the Partick Thistle game on Friday night what a shame well enjoy the game👌👌👌
If you are interested in third division Portuguese football I recommend Uniao De Leiria. They used to play in the first division and had a few great seasons under Jose Mourinho. They also have a nice stadium that is situated under a medieval castle. Great video!
that is my club
I’m a Hearts fan but my Portuguese club is Vitoria Guimaraes, would be great if you could go see them
Did both Lisbon teams in one day before Xmas and then national Stadium. Didin't realise the Eagles at Benfica were real until we got on the pitch!
I must start watching portuguese football, love the fans
Should try get some videos done in Northern Ireland in the summer 🇬🇧
Would love him to do a groundhop around Northern Ireland
Absolute Legend mate.... you've done more for football in the past year than most of the guys in the football industry. Welcome to my country , have a nice stay here, enjoy the food and the Super Bock :) . You have lots of great clubs here, with lots of history ! Cheers
If you are ever stuck for content over the summer I would really recommend taking a trip over to Ireland and covering a game or two in the (republic of Ireland) League of Ireland. Runs all through the summer (apart from a two week break). Brilliant atmosphere and very passionate fans. Some notable clubs to see would be: shamrock rovers, bohemians, Derry city and my club(the best one btw😉) Sligo Rovers.
My friend one of the most enjoyable matches I've seen was Benfica vs Celtic Glasgow. There was 10000??? 😲 Scotish fans in that game, in Lisbon... amaaaazing atmosphere. And you guys did a beautiful homage to our player Mki Feher who was sadly deceased not long ago. Was really something, unforgettable. Football is amazing!!!! Cheers, and all the success to you.
Great video again enjoyed 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜👍👍👍
I hope that airport also has a Patrick Thistle shop!
cant wait for the upcoming videos! super excited
Great Vlog Sam - I'll look forward to more from Portugal - A little recommendation for future consideration... A vlog from Antwerp covering the 3 clubs who play in Antwerp.... I lived there in (Berchem) wayyyy back in the mid 70s and my dad would take me to games at Royal Antwerp.. Berchem Sport.. & Beerschot... GOOD TIMES and all 3 clubs have Great Passionate Supporters.... Great Histories.
My dads best mate played for Berchem Sport... The first ever full time pro on their books... Mike Kear (Uncle Mike) ex Forest.. Middlesbrough...& Barnsley - He's a LEGEND at Berchem Sport and has made annual visits to the club over the years... Safe travels Sam... All the best... Richie ~
( Mike Kear Interview... Enjoy ~ czcams.com/video/RDuM9TADrV0/video.html )
How did Royal Antwerp become the best team in Belgium this season? Their own merit or are teams like Anderlecht, Brugges, Liege just not good enough just now?
@@Daviebhoy25cfc Great question... I only catch bits n pieces via twitter so i'm not fully versed on whats been going down in the Belgian top league... Antwerp are a Big Club.. Maybe a rich chairman with a BIG Chequebook... know they used to have good contact with Man Utd and players on loan from them... All i can really say is "Good On Them" i hope they keep rising to their full potential after a fair few years in the league below ~
Love your videos footy adventures. Looking forward to your Braga video. An old working mate of mine when i was working in Ulm was a fanatic Braga fan. We also had a Sporting Lisbon fan in the firm also. Although i now live in Berlin, i had the luck to ride my motorbike from Gibraltar to Lisbon many moons ago. Beautiful city, especially riding on the trams. Oh and by the way i quite enjoy your videos of closed grounds, or where no game is taking place. Are you a full time blogger, as you certainly get about. Glad i found your channel. Dave in Berlin
I saw Hearts in Braga in 2004, wonderful stadium and old town was definitely worth a visit
Enjoy
Benfica 🦅
Class, Sam 😍 Look forward to the rest of your Portugal content 🇵🇹🍻
Welcome to our beautiful country ! Hope you’ll enjoy it! Keep up the magnificent work . Love the videos , Cheers 🇵🇹
You just got a new portuguese sub and SL Benfica fan also. Welcome to our beautiful country, enjoy it and if you have the opportunity you should go to a Benfica game to feel what our club is about! Good video :D
Love a "little" away day haha. I actually travel to Germany often as my partner currently lives and studies there and mate, I am buzzing to go see some games there! Apparently the 2nd and 3rd tier have class atmosphere. Looking to go to a Kaiserslautern game mainly, but also whatever comes my way. Seeing football outside of your own country is special! Looking forward to more of these! 🙌
I would suggest
Lokomotive Leipzig
Chemie Leipzig
Hansa Rostock
Magdeburg
Dynamo Dresden
VfL Osnabrück
& Hallescher
That would be my recommendations in terms of German football.
Keep Safe.
You should follow
czcams.com/channels/GE4OSVoI4jieJPsnX0IMeA.html
This Channel is all about German football it's a Hibs fan that runs the channel he is massively in to German football especially East German football he has did a little bit about Soviet football history aswell but it's mostly about German football.
@@alanfox691 yo youre listing up all the big east german Clubs/fan scenes and then completely random Osnabrück
If you can get a ticket go down to Magdeburg. I live in Berlin and am not really a fan from either of the Bundesliga clubs here. Victoria Berlin were promoted to the 3 Liga last year, started well but are now on a downward spiral. They would have played their games just a bike ride from me, but the ground didnt reach the criteria needed. They now play 20 Ks away in east Berlin, and hardly anyone goes. FCK are now allowing half of the capacity, so you might just get a ticket. Otherwise you have Mannheim or Sarbrücken in same league as FCK. Enjoy yourself L2 and L3 is alot of fun. Prefer these 2 leagues myself, as the Bundesliga is boring
Thanks for the great video, looking forward to more stadium tours outside the UK
Great video Sam! Enjoy your Portuguese trip. Looking forward to this series of vlogs
Keep up the great video’s. Especially stadium tours
Finnaly, a British yt coming to Braga stadium, you will not regret, believe me
Nowt better than a trip overseas for football. Highly recommend Varzim Sport Club if you go anywhere near Porto. It's on the Metro line. Stadium right next to the Atlantic Ocean! Tho I went in December a few years back!
Have a great trip Sam, really looking forward to watching your vlogs in Portugal
Enjoy your trip Sam. Look forward to checking all the videos out. ⚽️
Nice introduction video.
Look forward to following the journey around Portugal.
Great video. Buzzing for you.
Have a great time out in Portugal, looking forward to the vids!
If you're going back via Bristol you might as well make a detour to Home Park to come see the mighty Argyle play 🟩⬜🟩
Nice blog...keep up the good work...btw..I am also Liverpool fan💪🍺🍺⚽
Totally great video as usual ! Look forward to your videos of the end of season national cup finals in UK.(If you can get tickets). Well done Sam!
Love how Sam is just like us...cause I'd be the same...ecstatic visiting a new country or a big club/stadium...just shocked and happy and bewildered
Can’t wait to see the new videos!
I was in Porto last weekend and went to the game Vs Gil Vicente. Brilliant experience, ticket was €20 and the setup there is something we could learn from. Good atmosphere as well even though it wasn't a full capacity crowd
Great vid as always! I was there in Lisbon only about 3 weeks ago great city with 2 great clubs! Try the bifanas before the match with a super bock!
A trip to São Miguel and a visit to Santa Clara would be awesome. Lots of local small clubs also
It’s great to go abroad for football. I was in Germany in November and saw Leverkusen vs Betis and Wolfsburg v Augsburg. Even managed to squeeze in a Berlin ice hockey match. Enjoy Portugal!
Cheers for the shout out! Bebe was originally from Estrela da amadora if you want to do a video on them!
We took the 3 hour coach journey whilst holidaying in albufeira to spend the day in Lisbon and did the tour of this ground. Lisbon is a stunning place and that ground is something special.... super bock is the beer of Kings. They now sell it in tesco. 👍
Good video. Funny you speaking Spanish to the Portuguese 😂. Great guy great vid.
“That new country smell !”
Glad someone else noticed that!
Super Bock is quite strong btw 🥴
Enjoyed that as always Sam…and, keep the Portuguese up for that Brazil trip !
Another cool video Sam,I was there 2 weeks ago for the City game,did Benfica beforehand,stadium tour etc,actually walked right round the stadium.Benfica murals on the buildings around the stadium,even a Benfica themed roundabout.
Being pedantic but it's Sporting or Sporting CP never Sporting Lisbon,sorry mate !
Shame the Rooftop bar was closed this time, that'll always give you a good excuse to go back another time :-) I ran into a very similar problem when I went to the Algarve in March 2019, most of the bars and restaurants in the town I was staying in were closed because it was low season, even though we had temperatures of around 20c every day. Craig Brown was on the same flight as me from Glasgow to Faro, and spoke to him for a couple of minutes and got a selfie with him at the baggage reclaim.
You just got a new subscriber mate! Im enjoying your content. Hope you have a nice days in my country 🇵🇹
Amazing thank you so much! (Muito Obrigado)!
Benfica is a legend of a club
I like how you gave it away when you said Faro but quickly recovered 😁😁🤣
Enjoy your trip Sam 👍
Alan Shields
Hamilton
South Lanarkshire
Scotland.
Will you be doing any
Marítimo content when you are in Portugal ?.
Benfica are my favourite Portuguese side if I get the chance I like to watch Vitória Guimarães aswell but they dont get to much coverage here in The U.K unless they are playing one of the big three.
My favourite Portuguese player growing up was Sérgio Conceição the current F.C Porto Manager he was a truly classy magnificent player for Lazio when they won
La Scudetto in 1999/2000 he really stood out to me in a fabulous Lazio side jam packed with class players that Lazio side was one of the best I have ever seen.
I am glad you are spreading your wings a little more again now Sam & doing content again out with The U.K & Scotland in particular being Scottish & loving history I already know a hell of a lot about club in Scotland in particular & in the U.K in general so I am glad you are spreading your wings to Portugal & giving us some Portugese Football content Benfica spreading your wings get it lol.
Keep Safe Sam.
Scottish fitba' is great - but awaydays are special - just back from Milan derby myself. 😍😍😍😍
The holy trinity is Kendal, Harvey and Ball. Law, charlton and Best is the United trinity. 👏🏻👏🏻
Portugal is a beautiful country and the football is really underrated. I would love to do a footy tour there. Enjoy mate
The best statue being at Tynecastle, the bravest team 🙌🏻🇬🇧🇱🇻
Hi mate, brilliant video as always, I’m from wales but closely follow Boavista, they share a great rivalry with porto and are from the north part of the city, lots to talk about , a great old school stadium too mate 😊
The area around the bessa has great food and drink! Definately worth a trip to Boavista.
The ultras are known as the panteras (panthers) 👍🏻 Hope this helps and encourages you to find great content 👍🏻
Good luck mate
Good video and the sporting Lisbon stadium is a nice ground did you hear that rangers will be playing celtic in Australia in November
Sam finding that article in the magazine is called "Synchronization". It's what happens when your happy and life is in order. You will get more and more weird coincidences.
I did the stadium tour & museum myself 2 weeks ago. Best past was seeing the eagles just perched by the pitch
Like the vids sam mate i was at rangers vs dortmund hoping to get tickets for Rangers vs red star belgrade i imagine you will be there
Feel free to return. Our home is your home!
Benfica
This time last week I was in the air flying to Lisbon to week up with a group from football weekends magazine. Arrived home last night after taking in games at Beleneses, Alverca, Benfica, sporting and an u23 game at Estoril. The Benfica ground tour was great getting close to the two eagles. Also visited the other breakaway beleneses ground(original home ground) plus two over the water one of which is opposite the christ the redeemer car park. Unfortunately I couldn't get in as that should have made a good picture during a game with the statue in the background
Greetings from Romania mate ! !
Check the museum and the store, probably you'll find the Eagle there. Cheers.
World Soccer! Did collect quite a few in the late 00s/early 10s before the only stockist in the country stopped bringing them.
You gotta come to Dortmund once the full capacity is allowed again! Would love to welcome you in the best stadium in the world haha
If your going to the National Stadium again get the train to Cruz Quebrada near bottom of big hill. Might save you a 3 hour walk this time. Hha Ha. Sporting have a great tour as well.
A visit to Estádio do Bonfim would be interesting..... Home of Vitória de Setúbal... One of the most decorated teams in Portugal but have suffered difficulties in recent years and now dwell in the third tier Campeonato de Portugal...
Come to Portimao in the Algarve to see Portimonense...great town and stadium
Come to Portugal again and please do a video about an also very historic club: Boavista FC. We were champions of Portugal and won 5 national cups, played in the champions league, reached the semi finals of the eruopa league againts celtic and then were relagated. Fotyunatly we are back in the firts divison since 2014!
Another class vlog, but Tennents is piss water.
I'd have gone to Islay from that choice of destinations, followed by Kirkwall.
Sam I would love you(After Portugal) to go back to Greece and do some more teams such as Asteras Tripolis,Aris and Giannina
I've there 1963 European program in a frame played Distillery
Would be great if you could visit Boavista‘s stadium in Porto 🇵🇹
What are the restrictions like getting into Portugal?
Could you please try and see maritimo but they play on an island but if you could let’s go
Going to Lisbon in July mate, think I could get up the rooftop bar ?
A better translation for "obrigado" is "much obliged". Of course it's our way of saying "thank you"
You should go to Vitoria Guimaraes. Bolton Wanderers went there in 2006 in Uefa Cup and ended 1-1 Portuguese striker Ricardo Vaz Te scored for Bolton. . Passionate support base and have a big rivalry with Braga.
Vitoria are the fourth biggest supported club in Portugal,ahead of Braga in fifth.
Vitoria tend to umderachieve on the pitch however.
Boavista also worth visiting, the last club outside the big three to win the title in 2001
Porto's much smaller city rivals.
Maritimo worth visiting tòo but they in Madeira.
Boavista played Manchester United the following season in the Champions League after winning the title in 2001.
Despite being a small club they have a really good stadium.
Famous for their chequered flag shirts too
Did you go to the Santa Clara game?
So you're not coming to Partick Thistle V Inverness what a shame I was looking forward to see you
If I knew about your travel plans, I would be grateful to joint and help.
I'm in London.. SLBENFICA supporter and missing Lisboa... maybe another time. Take care
Looks pretty special, but it’s no McDiarmid Park 😉
Your already doing foreign football, your in Scotland! :D
Should go to malta one day.
2:46 The reason I'll be staying off planes now that we've "beaten" Covid
I ♥️ SL Benfica! They follow my team Murray Terriers SC on Twitter. Legends 🙌
I saw you are going to be visiting other 🇵🇹 grounds. I can’t wait you to visit Sporting CP. I would advise not calling them “Sporting Lisbon” they don’t like that. 😂
Will you be at the Rangers v Crvena zvezda match?
Olá amigo. Just found your channel. Been binging on the Portugal vids. Great work! Except for the way you pronounce TAÇA. Friendly tip... The thingy under the Ç means it's a soft C, like an S. So it's pronounced TASSA, not TAKA. Otherwise, your Portuguese is to be commended. Cheers from Canada. The Ice Ballers Cometh!
You should visit Barcelona's stadium in Spain, where one of the most incredible results by a Scottish team was achieved when Dundee Utd. defeated Barcelona, including a certain two English superstars who are now TV pundits. And NO I am not a Utd. fan. Rangers for me!
You should have went to estádio de Alvalade Sporting
Why Portugal for your first taste of freedom escaping from Scotland, did your last visit to Portugal end too soon because of Covid?
0:07 is that an a35?
One of the most iconic and beautiful stadiums in Europe, no wonder Arsenal copied its layout to build the Emirates
Come to Spain. See you in Madrid
Why Greenock Morton mentioned first insult 😭😭
Can you come watch aberdeen please
Hi! I work in rhere! If you need any helf or information, just tell me!
Pacos ferrira just for the fact they best spurs at home and lost away to larne nothern Irish team
Will you be looking at the remarkable rise of CD Tondela
Quite possibly after your suggestion. Thanks mate!!!
Good portuguese mate
