The Portuguese team, the champion of the competition in 1987 and 2004, won the first leg at home 2-1, and decided to qualify for the quarter-finals thanks to the two goals scored by Sergio Oliveira in the 19 minutes from a penalty kick and 115, which made the mission of Juventus, who left the competition from the same round last season By losing 1-0 to Lyon in the away match, before winning 2-1 back, so that the card belonged to his opponent for scoring a goal away from home.

"This match will change our season,"
Dutch center-back Matthijs de Ligt, who entered the second half, commented on Juventus' exit, saying, "It is really difficult. When you play against a team with ten men for almost an entire match, it is difficult to come out that way."
He continued to the Italian network "Sky Sport", "Porto went 1-0 up and then we started playing, and this was late. We did a good job in the second half in terms of speed, chances and two goals, but in the end the ball refused to enter the net. This match will definitely change." Our season is because we wanted to win the Champions League and now we're outside in March. This is very difficult for us. "
History did not spare Juventus in his confrontations with Porto in Turin at the level of the ancient continental competition, as he beat the Portuguese team 3-1 in the group stage in 2001, then 1-0 in the second leg of the final price in 2017, two results that would have given him the quarter-final card had he succeeded.
