Ontem foi a vez do FC Porto se estrear na edição 2023/24 da Liga dos Campeões e hoje sobem ao relvado Benfica e Sp. Braga (20 horas). Se por cá estamos familiarizados com os nomes dos jogadores dos clubes portugueses, não o estaremos por certo com os craques do Estrela Vermelha ou do Antuérpia, por exemplo.
