Liverpool have been drawn against Porto in the Champions League quarter finals.
The pair faced off in last season’s Round of 16, with Jurgen Klopp’s side progressing to the last eight courtesy of a 5-0 aggregate victory.
Anfield will host the first leg on Tuesday, April 9 with the return fixture at the Estadio do Dragao eight days later. Both games will kick off at 8pm (BST)
Should the Reds overcome Porto again, they will come up against either Manchester United or Barcelona in the semi-final of Europe’s elite club competition.
“What can I say? It’s Porto and we’ve played there already and we know how good we had to be last year,” said Klopp.
“The result in the end was a strange one; it was very good for us, of course, but it was a strange one. In the second leg, we saw the character of Porto and the quality they have.
“I could not be further away from thinking it’s the best draw because it isn’t – it is just the draw, it’s the opponent we have to prepare for and that’s all we will be thinking about from when we start preparing for the game.
“We have a specialist for Porto in our own team in Pep Lijnders being there in the past – and he always speaks with so much respect for that club.
“We will have plenty of information and that’s what you need before a game, but you still have to play it. Now we know it, let’s prepare.”
