Champions League: Porto-Inter Milan, Manchester City-Leipzig in European football

A look at what’s happening in the Champions League on Tuesday: PORTO vs. INTER MILAN (0-1) Porto will try to reverse the 1-0 first-leg loss at Inter Milan without playmaker Otávio, who is suspended due to his red card in Italy. Also not available for Porto is defender João Mário because of a knee injury. The Portuguese side will hope for another good outing by striker Mehdi Taremi, who has scored twice in the last three games. Porto followed the loss in Milan with another defeat in the Portuguese league, but they won two in a row after that. Inter lost two out of three after beating Porto, including at lowly Spezia 2-1 in the Italian league on Friday. Porto, the Champions League winners in 2004, are trying to make it to the last-eight for the first time since 2021. Inter’s last trip to the quarterfinals was in 2011.
