The Champions League draw has served up an exciting encounter for Portugal’s lone representative in the knockout stage of the competition. Porto will play hosts to Jürgen Klopp and his Liverpool side on Wednesday night, before traveling to England in March for the return leg.

The matchup is set to be thrilling, with both teams in great form and high on confidence. While Liverpool are certainly the favourites, Porto is more than capable of launching a run in the competition.

PortuGOAL previews the intriguing encounter.

The world’s greatest club competition resumes this week with the start of the UCL knockout stage. Portugal’s lone representative left in this season’s Champions League, FC Porto, host Liverpool in a mouth-watering encounter on Wednesday.

The Dragons are still unbeaten in domestic play and go into the match with morale sky-high after impressive performances and results against Sporting and Chaves in the past week. But in Liverpool they are facing a team capable of brilliance, as shown when becoming the only side to have overcome Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City this season.

What can Porto expect? To get the answer, PortuGOAL asked seasoned broadcaster and Liverpool expert John Bradley.

• Benfica
• Primeira Liga,
• Sporting,
• FC Porto,

The latest instalment of Primeira Liga action, with the return of the Champions League and Europa League just around the corner for a few of our most well-supported sides, saw Benfica kick off the weekend with a chance to go top of the pile with their trip to the Algarve.

The Eagles rose to the occasion with a 3-1 win against Portimonense, but FC Porto emphatically brushed aside any thoughts the pressure would get to them, returning to the summit by thrashing Chaves 4-0 on Sunday afternoon.

Next up was Sporting, hoping to keep apace with the top two in this most thrilling of Primeira Liga title races, and doing so with a hard-earned 2-0 victory at home to Feirense. PortuGOAL brings you the best of the weekend's action.

Another twist in the title race in Week 21 of Liga NOS saw Sporting’s unbeaten domestic run unexpectedly end away at a struggling Estoril side.

Porto took full advantage with a potentially pivotal 3-1 win over what has been a very impressive Braga side. All three of their goals were headers, and all three supplied by arguably the division’s most consistent player in 2017/18: Brazilian left-back Alex Telles.

Porto’s assist king is PortuGOAL’s Figure of the Week.
