There was a lot of excitement as the draw for the first knockout round of the UEFA Champions League took place with Liverpool being a part of it for the first time since 2009. The Reds topped their group after the last day win over Spartak Moscow and were possibly in the running to face a few other giants of European football.
Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or even Juventus could have been our opponents but the footballing Gods were merciful to us and now we end up facing Porto. The first leg will be held in Portugal on the 14th of February 2018 and the return leg will be at Anfield on 6th March.
We have never lost to the Portuguese giants in four matches thus far and signs look good for us. But the last thing we should do is underestimate our opponents who actually came out of a group featuring Leipzig and Monaco.
Nevertheless, there were a number of fans who were ecstatic with the draw and here are some of the best reactions we found on Twitter.
