Why Liverpool Should Not Take Champions League Rivals FC Porto Lightly

When Liverpool were drawn out of the hat for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, most Liverpool fans were decidedly happy. However, that’s not to say Tuesday’s opponents FC Porto will be pushovers.

Liverpool know that an emphatic victory over the Dragões at Anfield on Tuesday night could all but seal a place in the semi-finals of Europe’s elite competition and set-up an exciting tie against either Manchester United or FC Barcelona.

Last season, Jürgen Klopp’s side dispatched the Primeira Liga high-flyers in the first leg of the last-16 at the Estádio do Dragão, with a sublime Sadio Mané hat-trick, and goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, capping off a memorable night in Portugal.
