“We have no time and must focus on Porto. It is a very important game for us, but we can win it and also reach the next stage,” Onyekuru told TheCable.

“It will be a great game and we must go out to enjoy it because the Champions League is different to anything else, we need to get the three points.”

Onyekuru says he is looking forward to playing at the Estadio do Dragao.

“There’s no doubt it has been a dream of mine to play there. It’s one of those places where a footballer always wants to play and do well,” he said.

“The Estadio do Dragao has lots of history and is up there with the Santiago Bernabeu, Old Trafford, San Siro and the Camp Nou, but hopefully we can win.

“We’ve already proved at Galatasaray that we can beat them and we’ll be giving it everything, there’s no doubt about that.”

Onyekuru has been tipped to start as Emre Akbaba is out injured and has not travelled with the squad.

The 21-year-old has two goals in all competitions for the reigning Super Lig champions this season.

The young winger is competing in his second Champions League campaign after starring for Anderlecht on loan last term.
