Uefa Champions League: Zaidu Sanusi Could Make Make History With FC Porto
By Omolagba Oluwayemi
One of Europe's finest left back, Zaidu Sanusi could make histroy with Portuguese side, FC Porto in the Uefa Champions League this season.
FC Porto who against all odds knocked out a Christiano Ronaldo led Juventus out of Europe's elite competition's second round will know their possible quarter-finals opponent on Friday but having held their heads high against one of the favourites in the competition already this season, they can dream of repeating the feat they last achieved in 2004.
Before playing Juventus whom some will argue to be one of the favorites coming into the season, FC Porto played Manchester City twice in the group stages and in both games, they showed some glimpses of what they could do to hold their own against big opponents although they lost the first leg but in the second leg, held the premier league leaders to a goalless draw.
And in the game against Juventus, the world saw how classy they were despite going a man down in the second leg still managed to qualify for the last eight and when you take Bayern Munich and Manchester City aside, this team from Portugal can hurt any of the teams left in the competition, and should the draw on Friday be fair to them, escaping the two aforementioned teams, FC Porto could find themselves in the Semi-finals and who knows maybe in the finals too and possibly repeat the feat they last achieved over 16 years ago.
Should Zaidu Sanusi and FC Porto start dreaming of a possible upset in the Champions League this season, can they against all odds shock the world by winning Europe's most coveted trophy as they did in 2004? Time they say will tell
