Chelsea will go head to head with FC Porto in quarter finals stage of the UEFA Champions League after their Masterclass show to see off Atletico Madrid.

Just minutes after the draw was finalized and opponents revealed, Porto took to their twitter page to drop keywords which could be hinting on them making a mark on the sands of time.
The post which quotes “We only owe history what we can add to it” is definitely to be pointing towards sending off Chelsea at the Quarter finals stage.
Chelsea is set to hold their press conference by 1:30pm but Porto has gone ahead to dish out a warning to Stamford Bridge side prior what Tuchel has to say about the draw.
The club’s former goalkeeper, Victor Baia also added voiceprint ahead of the clash stating his side will go into the game with every desire to advance into the next stage.
“We are going to face this with optimism and with the desired to be able to move into the semi-finals,” Baia said.
“We know the DNA of our team, our culture, and we will live up to the demands of a game of this dimension,” he added.
