Everything you need to know about Porto

The draw for the Champions League pitted us against FC Porto in the last-16 - a club with huge pedigree at home and in Europe.

But how much do you know about the Portuguese giants? We’ve pulled together a handy guide to give you the full lowdown on our opponents.

Porto were formed in 1893 and are the second most decorated team in the country, with 84 major honours. The first arrived in 1911 in the form of the North Portugal championship, and 11 years later they became the first national champions, while they also were the inaugural winners of the Primeira Liga in 1935.
