Porto and Chelsea will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Champions League Quarter-finals battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Chelsea have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Portimonense and winning 2-1.
The victory against Santa Clara came after Toni Martínez's winning goal. The Porto manager S.
