This Wednesday, FC Porto will visit Inter Milan in search of an advantage in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The ‘dragons’ arrive at the first leg wanting to add the sixth qualification for the quarterfinals and continue a streak of 10 consecutive victories this season.
The I Liga runners-up, who have not lost since the 1-0 draw against Benfica in October last year, visit the second-placed team in Serie A.
Like the ‘blue and white’, the ‘nerazzurri’ are going through a good stage and in the last 18 games they have only lost one. He is in the ‘eighth’ for the tenth time, a phase that he has not abandoned since 2010/11.
Since 2003/04, FC Porto have reached this stage 13 times, having been eliminated seven times, and the last time, in 2020/21, they beat an Italian team, Juventus, to reach the ‘fourth quarters’. ‘, in which to lose to eventual European champions Chelsea.
The two clubs met in this section of the 2004/05 season competition, with the transalpine pass after a hat-trick by Brazilian striker Adriano, in the second leg (3-1).
Adding to the difficulty of playing against another European ‘big’ in the ‘Champions’ is the fact that Sérgio Conceição, a former Inter player, has several players with physical problems, with names like Uribe, Otávio or Evanilson in doubt, and outside striker Verón from the list.
The match between FC Porto and Inter Milan, in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 football match, will take place today at the Estádio Giuseppe Meazza, at 9:00 p.m. local time (20 :00 in Lisbon).
