Basketball: FC Porto battle for Champions League spot | OneFootball

FC Porto begins its qualification for the Champions League today against the Hungarian team Falco Szombathely, in Samokov, Bulgaria. Axel Toupane told the Dragons' website: “They are a good team with experienced players.” “They have been together for some time and are used to playing in the Champions League, so it won’t be an easy game, but we will fight one game at a time and try to win them all,” he added.

To secure a spot in the Champions League group stage, the blue and whites must win Group 3; otherwise, Fernando Sá’s team will be relegated to the FIBA Europe Cup. The 33-year-old forward, however, showed confidence: “We had a good preparation, months of productive work in which we played some games and got to know each other.” “We are ready and eager to fight for qualification,” assured the French reinforcement.

If they win today, Porto will return to the court on Monday, in the semifinals, against the winner of the match between Fribourg Olympic Basket (Switzerland) and Elan Chalon (France).
