Souness: Chelsea will be too strong for Porto

Graeme Souness says Chelsea will be too strong for Champions League quarterfinal opponents Porto.

Speaking to The Times, the Liverpool legend believes the Blues will be too strong for Porto when we face them this week.

"As it stands, I see all three English clubs in the semi-finals, which would mean at least one finalist," he said.

"We've seen a disappointing Atletico Madrid that Chelsea rolled over quite easily and Barcelona were well beaten by Paris Saint-Germain."

The Blues face the Portuguese giants on Wednesday and will look to bounce back from the defeat against West Brom on Saturday.

"Chelsea have had their tails up since Thomas Tuchel took charge and I expect them to continue that against Porto," Souness added.

"They are defending well and dominating possession."
