So you got the better end of the draw here… Liverpool or Porto?
Both Porto and Liverpool can’t complain

If Liverpool fans think Porto is a good draw for Liverpool they’re delusional.

Maxi has it sussed all the way to the final.
Liverpool to absolutely father Porto like the farmers they are, then draw Roma, easy double digits, then storm our way through a champions league semi final vs los blancos with a 2-0 stunner at the bernabeu and solid 0-0 display at Anfield. Salah to win Ballon D’or
