Liverpool, by contrast, were last in this stage in 2008/09 – although they did go on to the last eight in that season. • Porto progressed to the 2017/18 knockout rounds by finishing second in Group G, while Liverpool remained unbeaten (W3 D3) in winning Group E. • This is one of only two round of 16 ties this season to feature two former European champions: Chelsea FC's meeting with FC Barcelona is the other. Previous meetings • There have been four previous matches between the teams, all in the 21st century. Their first encounters came in the quarter-finals of Liverpool's victorious 2000/01 UEFA Cup campaign; Gérard Houllier's side drew the first leg 0-0 in Portugal before first-half goals from Danny Murphy and Michael Owen secured a 2-0 second-leg, and aggregate, victory at Anfield.
