Porto

This UEFA Champions League match sees the Portuguese darling Porto battle with European giant Intern Milan for a spot in the next round!

Reminiscence brings back that laudable moment when Taremi scored a beautiful bicycle kick against Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the UCL. The days when Jose Mourinho led a comparatively weaker team to victory over Barcelona in the semi-finals of the 2010 Champions League and a victory over Bayern Munich in the final. Now the Bosnian striker gets to go head-on with his nemesis when they meet in the Champions League next month. The Iranian frontrunner for the Portuguese outfit this season has been in wonderful form. The two met when Porto slugged it out with AS Roma in the Champions League few years back when Dzeko used to ply his trade for Giallorossi. Ever since Inter Milan won the Champions League in 2010, things have taken a downward trend for them in Europe. The Champions League, inarguably Europe’s greatest competition returns to almost half a billion viewers and millions of screens in less than a month from now. Coming off a quarter final exit at the hands of Schalke 04 in 2010-11 and a Round of 16 egress thanks to Olympique Marseille in 2011-12, Inter Milan went on a six season long Champions League intermission only returning to topflight football in the 2018/19 season. In terms of goals scored this season, Bosnia’s Edin Dzeko is a close second to Lautaro Martinez. Not fantastic for a number 10 but definitely not too bad.
