It’s Porto vs Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals!
A hard-headed Porto side inspired by veteran Pepe will meet Tuchel’s unbeaten Chelsea in what is expected to be a fantastic spectacle of attacking & defensive football.
Porto made it to the Champions League quarter-finals by holding out Serie A Champions Juventus 4-4 on aggregate and going through on away goals. The Portuguese giants won the first leg by two goals to one, before going on to lose 3-2 in Turin, with the two away goals by Sergio Oliviera making the difference in the end.
Chelsea however, outplayed a defensive Atletico Madrid side and sealed two clean sheets in two legs. The 3-0 aggregate victory sealed Tuchel’s 13th record unbeaten match since taking charge in London.

There is no easy team in the UCL but you cannot complain about this draw. This is great.
Porto are a impressive team no doubt knocking out juve but it was either them or bvb I wanted
