YOU could be forgiven for thinking Liverpool had been paired with lower league opponents in the Champions League last-16 given the sense of the euphoria that greeted the draw against FC Porto. YOU could be forgiven for thinking Liverpool had been paired with lower league opponents in the Champions League last-16 given the sense of the euphoria that greeted the draw against FC Porto. Never mind that Liverpool are five-time European champions as that proud history will count for nothing when Porto look to use all their experience of playing Champions League knock-out games to their advantage. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if a few English teams end up competing at the back end of the Champions League this season. Could Liverpool go all the way to the final in Kiev and win the Champions League this season?
