Porto coach Sergio Conceicao said Liverpool's style and gameplay renders the UK team as one of the best in the football world as he addressed the press in a pre-match briefing in Porto on Tuesday, just a day ahead of their Champion's League clash against Liverpool.

"I think about Liverpool when I think about football," said Conceicao whose side is looking to pull off a "historical turnaround" after conceding two goals in the away leg of their quarterfinals' match against the Liverpool side.

Porto midfielder Hector Herrera also acknowledged Liverpool's standing as the obvious "favourites" in the Wednesday's clash but nonetheless emphasized Porto's resolve in upsetting the current Premier League's leaders.
