The one big danger to Liverpool's Champions League chances identified as Porto prepare for shock

Porto claim they know what to expect from Liverpool this evening – and have outlined the danger the Reds should beware.

Jurgen Klopp's side are at the Estadio do Dragao for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final having beaten the Portuguese outfit 2-0 at Anfield last week.

Liverpool won 5-0 at Porto in the round of 16 last season and haven't conceded against Sergio Conceicao's side in their last three meetings.

But Porto left-back Alex Telles believes tonight's game will be different.

“We went through a lot together and I think we are better prepared for this duel,” he said.

“Salah, Mane, Firmino... Liverpool attackers are known all over the world. They are great players, world-class, we all know the qualities, be very difficult.

“I think the secrets for us are the concentration and teamwork of those on the field and of all those who work from the outside.

“The union of our team has made us stronger and, of course, our quality of play has allowed us to get here.”

Only Lionel Messi of Barcelona and Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski have scored more goals than Porto striker Moussa Marega.

And when asked to highlight a team-mate, Telles said: “I think we all played well, but if we had to highlight a player who has made a difference, who has given strength and positive energy to the team, it would be Marega.”
