The UEFA Champions League returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Chelsea lock horns with FC Porto at the Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. Chelsea eased past the Portuguese giants by a 2-0 margin in the first leg and will be confident ahead of this match.

FC Porto have not been consistent this season and have a point to prove going into this match. The Portuguese outfit edged Tondela to a 2-0 victory and will need to step up to the plate to stand a chance this week.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have undergone a renaissance under Thomas Tuchel this season and have an outside chance of winning the UEFA Champions League. The Blues thrashed Crystal Palace in their previous game and will need to put in a similar performance in this game.

Aditya is a European and international football writer at Sportskeeda, covering previews, news, post-match articles and live blogs for 5 years. During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
