Recall that Porto won the UEFA Champions League in 1987 (as European Cup) and 2004. The Portugal based team were hoping to lift another Champions League trophy, but were handed a massive setback by Chelsea in the quarterfinal, following a 2-1 aggregate scoreline.
The Blue and Whites were handed a 2-0 defeat in the first leg, though won the second leg on Tuesday with 1-0, but was not enough to cancel the 2-0 deficit they had in the first leg, hence, sending them out of the 2020/21 Champions League.
FC Porto have so far done well in the tournament, coming out of Group C which has Manchester City, Marseille and Olympiacos. They entered into the quarter-final where they sent Italian Giants Juventus packing from the competition.
On Tuesday night, Chelsea edged Porto to move into the semi-final, but not a bad outing for the Portuguese side, FC Porto.
