Juventus vs Porto live stream: How to watch Champions League fixture online and on TV

The Champions League returns on Tuesday and Italian giants Juventus still have a big job on to turn around their last-16 tie with FC Porto.

Three weeks ago, the Portuguese side ran out 2-1 winners in the first leg, with Federico Chiesa netting what could prove to be a vital away goal for the Serie A side late on in the match. Sergio Conceicao’s side were by far the better team and deserved that victory, though the narrow nature of their lead means another tough 90 minutes yet lies ahead.

Since that game, Porto have won twice and drawn with league leaders Sporting CP, while also suffering a cup defeat to Braga.
