At The Match: Porto’s shot at history
Andy heads to one of Europe’s most intimidating stadiums: the Estádio do Dragão. It’s a huge Champions League night and Porto have the chance to make it two Portuguese teams in the quarter-finals for the first time ever.
Unsurprisingly, the atmosphere lived up to the occasion. Andy finds out how Sérgio Conceição has quietly (well, no, pretty loudly in his case actually) become one of Europe’s most impressive coaches and witnesses one of the most dramatic ends to a game you’ll ever hear! Plus, unexpected trivia about André Villas Boas’ grandmother.
Special thanks to New Balance Football for taking us to the wonderful city of Porto!
