The 20-year-old, who will join Barcelona in the summer, set up the winner for Fransergio on 66 minutes, as Braga finished the season in third place in the table.

Braga’s win means they go straight into the Europa League group stages for next season, while Sporting finish fourth and will have to go through the qualifiers.

All of which means expectations are high ahead of his move to the Camp Nou, and fans are looking forward to seeing him in action for Barcelona next season.

Trincao is expected to stay with the first-team squad for 2020-21 and will be hoping he can make an impact in his first season at the Camp Nou.
