Liverpool are planning Porto-style Euro shock

LIVERPOOL’S heroes returned from a night of triumph in Germany to claim they could shock Europe just like Jose Mourinho’s Porto did in winning the Champions League last season.

Few believed the Portuguese and their fast-taking boss could scale the heights of Europe’s elite event, but Mourinho masterminded UEFA Cup and Champions League triumphs in successive seasons.

It is not lost on Liverpool’s delighted fans that their new boss Rafael Benitez won the UEFA Cup last season with Valencia, and is steadily picking off rivals in this season’s Champions League.
