Defending Portuguese Champion FC Porto hopes to pull off a Manchester United-style miracle by overcoming a 2-0 first-leg deficit to win their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie and advance to the semifinal round. But Liverpool FC has other ideas, with Manager Jurgen Klopp promising that his English Premier League-leading side will be playing to win in Portugal, according to The Independent newspaper, and has no plans to simply park the bus to protect their two-goal lead. Porto has history against them as well, never having won a European tie after losing the first leg by at least two goals on six previous occasions. But they will be trying to reverse all of that in the match that will live stream from Portugal.
