Porto midfielder Felipe believes they've been boosted in their Champions League clash with Liverpool.

Felipe says they're happy knowing Philippe Coutinho has left for Barcelona.

"It's going to be a big duel, everybody's expecting a great game, there's no easy game in the Champions League, we're expecting a lot of good things and we know we have every chance to win. There's no favourites," he said.

"Liverpool have great players, (Mohamed) Salah is in a good phase, but football is much more than that, it's not set, there's improvisation.

"Coutinho's departure was good for us, but Liverpool do not depend on just one player."
