FC Barcelona travels to Porto for the 2nd day of the Champions League group stage, this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information for this poster.

An ambition illustrated by his almost perfect entry into the competition, with an easy and controlled success against the Belgians Royal Antwerp, two weeks ago (5-0).
This Wednesday evening, a much tougher adversity should try to trap the Blaugrana since Xavi’s gang comes up against FC Porto. Like Barcelona, the Dragons can capitalize on a first victory. To try to thwart the plans of the Lusitanian club, Barça will be able to count on a certain Joao Felix, in great form currently and overmotivated at the idea of taming a former rival as a former Benfica player.
However, the attacker tried to dispassionate his speech. “ My mission is to score goals in every match. Maybe it’s special because it’s a Portuguese team. There’s more family in the stands, but it’s a game we’re going to try to win. Whether at Do Dragao or at the Bernabéu, we want to win every match. It’s a special match, but it’s one more match for me… »
