FC Porto In The Europa League: The Dragons Have Strong Wings

It’s not surprising to see FC Porto alive in Europe. The Dragons actually deserve to be where they are. Only few, if no-one, will observe their numerous records this season without expressing admiration.

They have actually been tipped to replicate what they achieved under Jose Mourinho back in 2003. Recently crowned as Portuguese Liga champions, FC Porto can now input more efforts and concentration into their UEFA Europa League campaign.

 

The competition’s favourites affirmed their authority from the start – and this relates to the qualifying rounds. Here is a look at their full list of fixtures and results in the UEFA Europa League so far:

Fact: Porto are not unbeaten in the UEFA Europa League, knowing that they lost to Sevilla in the Second Round of the tournament. However, Coach Andre Villas-Boas has made sure to get the necessary results to excel every time and the reward of his team’s hard work has been a place in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League. Can they fulfil the expectations of their fans – which is to win the cup?

This question could be answered a bit later. In the meantime, though, the Dragons must think about protecting their wings ahead of Thursday night’s FC Porto vs Spartak Moskva UEFA Europa League match. Stick with Live Soccer TV for updates on this European encounter.
