Farioli is going to make his Champions League debut as FC Porto's coach, in a game that promises to be challenging for the Portuguese team. The coach recognizes that he will be facing one of the best teams in the world, warning about the quality of the opponent.

Manchester City, FC Porto's opponent, is described as a team that spent millions on signings, demonstrating the financial and sporting power of the English club. Farioli does not hide that the English represent one of the biggest possible challenges in European football.

However, despite recognizing the quality of the opponent, Farioli promises that FC Porto will be prepared for the challenge. The coach believes that something special can happen in this match, transmitting confidence in his team's ability to compete at the highest level.
