Porto is set to face Barcelona in the second round of the Champions League. In the previous round, Porto secured a 3-1 victory against Shaktar Donetsk, with Galeno scoring a brace and Mehdi Taremi adding the third goal.

However, their recent domestic form suffered a setback with a 1-0 loss to Benfica on Friday, raising concerns ahead of the clash with Barcelona.

Barcelona, under the management of Xavi, had an impressive start in the Champions League, beating Antwerp 5-0 in the first round.

Joao Felix, Lewandowski, and Gavi were among the goal scorers. Their positive momentum continued in La Liga, with a 3-2 win against Celta Vigo, a 2-2 draw against Mallorca, and a 1-0 victory against Sevilla in their previous league game, where Sergio Ramos scored an own goal.

In their previous encounter in 2011 in the UEFA Super Cup, Barcelona emerged victorious with a 2-0 win.

Considering Barcelona’s recent form and Porto’s domestic setback, the expectation is for Barcelona to secure another win in this Champions League clash.
