Liverpool have been drawn to play Porto in the Champions League Round of 16.

The Reds thrashed Spartak Moscow 7-0 in their last group stage group to come top ahead of Sevilla.

And Jurgen Klopp will be relatively happy to have drawn Porto, and to have avoided teams such as Bayern Munich and Juventus.

In fact, Porto might be the kindest draw any of the group winners could hope for in the last 16.

Runners-up in a weak Group G, they conceded almost two goals a game, and though striker Aboubakar has been in good form, they do not appear to have the weapons to go much further.

The first legs will be played on 13, 14, 20 and 21 February, with the return legs played on 6, 7, 13 and 14 March 2018.
