Farioli and FC Porto's return to the Champions with City. "We play at the Dragão and something special can happen"

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 14:19

FC Porto returns to the Champions League to face Manchester City at the start of the league phase of the 2026/27 edition. The match is scheduled for Tuesday at 8pm, at the Estádio do Dragão, in Porto.

The Portuguese side presents three significant absences for this encounter. Defender Bednarek serves a suspension and will not be available, while Danish midfielder Froholdt and forward Samu are other confirmed absences due to injury.

The Porto coach believes that playing at the Dragão can make the difference, having stated that something special can happen when the team plays at home against a high-calibre opponent like Manchester City.

The match will be broadcast on Sport TV and marks the beginning of a new phase in the European competition, with the league phase structure replacing the old groups.
