Liverpool to face Porto in Champions League quarter-finals

Liverpool will take on FC Porto in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. 

The Reds advanced to the final eight of the competition on Wednesday night as they defeated Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. 

After drawing 0-0 at Anfield in the first leg, Jurgen Klopp’s side ran riot against the Bundesliga giants and advanced after a brace from Sadio Mane and a header from Virgil van Dijk booked their place in the quarter-finals. 

Liverpool have since learned that they will play Porto over two legs in the next stage of the competition.

The Liga NOS side progressed after defeating Roma in the previous round after extra-time.

Klopp’s side will take on the Portuguese giants at home in the first leg before travelling away to Estadio do Dragao for the second leg.

The Reds will have one eye on their pursuit of the Premier League title this season as they trail Manchester City at the top by just one point. 

However, after falling at the final hurdle in last season’s Champions League, Liverpool will be determined to progress past Porto to reach the semi-finals of the illustrious European competition.

If the Merseyside outfit do indeed qualify for the final four, they will be faced with a testing two-legged encounter with the winner of Barcelona’s quarter-final clash with Manchester United.
