Liverpool drew Porto once again in the Round Of 16 to ensure a safe passage through to the quarterfinals.

The Reds ran rampant through a helpless Porto side at the Estadio Do Dragao as all three of Liverpool’s attacking players got their names on the scoresheet in a 5-0 drubbing of their opponents.
