Porto land Basel; Sporting face Wolfsburg 

FC Porto have been drawn against Swiss champions Basel, managed by Portugal legend Paulo Sousa, in the last 16 of the Champions League. 

In the Europa League Sporting landed Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg. 

FC Porto 0-2 Benfica

A brace by Brazilian striker Lima gave Benfica a 2-0 victory at the Estádio do Dragão tonight. 

In a game of few chances, the visitors took full advantage of their goalscoring opportunities to score a vital victory and open up a six-point lead at the top of the table. 

In what was Jorge Jesus's first victory at fierce rivals Porto in the Liga in six attempts, it was a perfect weekend for the Eagles with Vitória Guimarães and Sporting both dropping points at home. 

FC Porto v Benfica preview

On Sunday night Porto and Benfica meet for the first time this season. As has constantly been the case in recent years in Portugal, the direct confrontation between the two fierce rivals is a clash of huge significance with a potentially decisive bearing on who will end up lifting the Primeira Liga crown. 

Porto are at home and are in fine form having won 7 and drawn 2 of their last 9 matches and have yet to taste defeat in the Liga. But reigning champions Benfica are top of the table, defend a three-point lead and are acutely aware that a positive result would be a huge boost to their quest for back-to-back Portuguese Liga triumphs for the first time in three decades.

In short, it could hardly be set up any better. PortuGOAL previews the Clássico. 

Sporting were beaten 3-1 by José Mourinho's Chelsea in London tonight, which combined with Schalke's 1-0 victory at Maribor means the Lisbon club failed in their quest to qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League for what would have been only the second time in their history. 

FC Porto ended a highly positive group stage campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to Shakhtar Donetsk thanks to a tremendous late equaliser from Aboubakar to remain unbeaten in this season's competition. 

Benfica sent out a 2nd-string team at home to Bayer Leverkusen yesterday, and ironically put in perhaps their best performance in Group C, drawing 0-0 and missing some glaring chances to beat the Germans.
