Do or die for Porto and Benfica
Duo prepare for Champions League deciders

Porto and Benfica play their final Champions League group match this week, knowing that anything other than victory will spell the end of their campaign this season.

Ronald Koeman recognised yesterday that Benfica’s injury crisis could not have come at a worse time. Talismanic captain Simão is ruled out, along with Italian striker Miccoli and star midfielder Manuel Fernandes.

“It’s a shame Simão is out, because it’s the most important match of our Champions League campaign,” said the Dutchman.

Despite missing probably their top three players, Benfica’s morale will have been boosted by their crucial win against Marítimo on Saturday, and the return to form of Angolan striker Mantorras.

Greek midfielder Karagounis is expected to return to the side after resuming training this week following an injury lay-off.

In the tightest of all the Champions League Groups, any of the four Group D teams can qualify for the next stage. Benfica will definitely progress if they beat United, while a draw will be enough to qualify for the UEFA Cup should Villarreal beat Lille in Spain.

The match is a 65,000 sell-out.



Porto’s Slovak mission
A full-strength Porto travel to Artmedia needing to win, and Rangers to lose or draw against Inter Milan in Glasgow. Should Porto fail to pick up three points against the Slovaks, they will finish bottom of their group, thus missing out of the UEFA Cup consolation prize.

Despite their precarious position and poor European displays this season, Co Adriaanse is confident that Porto will get the win they need. “If we played ten times against Artmedia like we played in our first match, we would win nine,” he said.

Porto were two goals up in the Estádio do Dragão before Artmedia staged an incredible comeback to win 3-2.

Nevertheless, the Porto coach is expecting an extremely difficult match, and made a point of praising his opponents, saying, “It’s amazing that in a group containing Inter Milan, Porto and Rangers, Artmedia go into the final match with a chance of qualifying.”
