For the first time in seven years, we’ll take to the field for a Champions League knockout game when we head to Porto in the last 16 of the competition.

The Portuguese giants have struggled in the league this season but impressed in Europe, winning four of their six group games to finish behind Barcelona and set up this tie against ourselves.

In what is potentially a good omen for ourselves, the last time we booked a spot in the quarter-finals of the competition came courtesy of a last-16 win against Porto in 2010, and a first-ever win at the Estadio do Dragao would set us perfectly to replicate that ahead of the second leg on March 12.
