The reigning champions of Italy and Portugal resume their battle for a Champions League quarter-final place on Tuesday evening, as Juventus host Porto trailing by a goal from the first leg.
Needing to overturn a deficit in the last-16 for the second year in a row, the Bianconeri will look to overcome injury troubles and inconsistent form to dispatch their talented Iberian counterparts in Turin.
Last month, in Porto, the home side unexpectedly took the lead inside just two minutes through Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi and found themselves two goals to the good soon after half-time, thanks to a strike from his partner Moussa Marega.
Seemingly stunned into inertia, Juventus found themselves short of inspiration on the night, but Federico Chiesa’s potentially crucial away goal late on left the tie in the balance.
Nearly two decades since Cristiano Ronaldo left his beloved homeland, Portugal’s caps and goals record-holder returned to no avail and cut a frustrated figure on the night.
The former Sporting academy graduate has experienced just a single win from seven meetings with Porto in his long and distinguished career – registering just one goal too – so will be doubly determined to help turn the tie around this week. Having benefited from a rare rest during the first hour of Juve’s clinical 3-1 win over Lazio on Saturday, he should be in prime shape to do so.
