Pepe and team-mates sign autographs for fans before flight to Liverpool

Porto are on their way to Liverpool ahead of their crunch showdown with Jurgen Klopp's side on Tuesday night.

Twenty three players boarded a flight on Monday in preparation for the Champions League quarter-final first leg at Anfield.

The players that traveled were: Iker Casillas, Vaná and Diogo Costa (goalkeeper); Maxi, Éder Militão, Diogo Leite, Bruno Costa, Hernâni, Brahimi, Óliver Torres, Marega, Alex Telles, Herrera, Corona, Adrián López, André Pereira, Danilo, Otávio, Felipe, Soares, Pepe, Fernando Andrade and Diogo Queirós.

Former Real Madrid defender Pepe signed autographs and posed for selfies with supporters waiting at the airport.

Porto boss Sergio Conceicao was also spotted talking to fans at the airport.

Pepe is in fact suspended as well as midfielder Hector Herrera. Andrew Robertson is suspended for Liverpool.

The Portuguese side will be out for revenge having being hammered 5-0 by the Reds on their own turf last season.

Klopp's side went on to reach the Champions League final but were beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid.

Porto are level on points with Benfica at the top of the Portuguese league and have won four of their last five matches since knocking out Roma in the last-16.
