Porto assistant coach Vitor Bruno says the players and staff are excited ahead of facing Champions League opponents Liverpool.

Porto are rank outsiders for the quarterfinal tie.

But Bruno says: "It's going to be an exciting and stimulating exercise, and the quality of the players compels us every day to work. Liverpool will be a fantastic stimulus for what happened last year.

"To play a different football and to play the tie we go with ambition and with great desire to pass to the semi-finals.

"Let's do what we have to do with the unavailable players. A word also for the fans who push us forward in all this. It's going to be all the way this way."
