In another life, Jorginho may very well have been lining up in a different shade of blue in Porto this Saturday.
The Brazilian-born Italy international was on the cusp of joining Pep Guardiola's champions in 2018, as they looked to build on a record-breaking 100-point season.

It is a sliding doors moment that Jorginho himself must look back on and ponder, especially given his experiences at Stamford Bridge.
