Francesco Farioli, FC Porto's coach, expressed total concentration on the home match against Moreirense, a game referring to the fifth round of the Portuguese I Liga. The Italian coach completely removed attention from the next game, where the dragons will face Manchester City.
This challenge against Moreirense comes as the final test before FC Porto's debut in this season's Champions League. The match against the English team represents the first appearance of the Porto side in the most prestigious European club competition.
Farioli thus sought to dismiss any speculation about the clash with Pep Guardiola's team, reiterating that the immediate priority is the national championship game. The coach did not specify dates or additional details about the two commitments.
