Then, in Turin, Sérgio Oliveira scored a brace, including an 115th-minute free-kick, as Porto progressed 4-4 on away goals after extra time. Thus, they’re through to the Champions League quarter-finals for just the third time since winning the competition in 2004. Despite their fantastic European adventure, Sérgio Conceição’s side are actually having a poor season domestically.
Dragões did
beat Santa Clara on Saturday but remain ten points behind surprise Primeira
Liga leaders Sporting CP. They’ve also gone out of both the Taça de Portugal
and Taça da Liga in the semi-finals, losing to Braga and Sporting respectively.
Nevertheless, they’ll be hopeful they can reach a first Champions League
semi-final for 17 years.
Chelsea
will aim to return to winning ways after their humbling defeat to West Bromwich
Albion when they travel to Seville for the first leg of their Champions League
quarter-final with Porto on Wednesday. The ‘hosts’ overcame Juventus in
thrilling fashion to book their place in the last eight, while Chelsea dumped
Atletico Madrid out of the tournament in the last 16.
We played PSG on the last occasion, in 2013/14 when Jose Mourinho was in charge, and we progressed to the semi-finals on away goals having drawn the tie 3-3 on aggregate. This is our 10th quarter-final in the competition. Our record against Portuguese clubs is 10 wins, one draw and two defeats.
Away from home
we have won three, drawn one and lost two (both to Porto). Chelsea have won all
three knockout games against Portuguese sides; Porto in 2006/07 and Benfica
2011/12 (both in the Champions League quarter-finals) and the Europa League
final against Benfica in 2013.
