FC Porto vs Celtic FC Tickets

FC Porto and Celtic FC have both won the greatest prize in club football and will go head-to-head in a tantalising European showdown at the Estádio do Dragão.

Based in the north of Portugal, FC Porto boasts an illustrious history in domestic and European football. The "Dragões" have clinched numerous Primeira Liga titles and have made their mark on the grand European stage. Porto's maiden European Cup victory occurred in 1987, a memorable triumph over Bayern Munich in Vienna.

Under Jose Mourinho, Porto further cemented their status as European giants with a second UEFA Champions League trophy in the 2003/04 season, having won the UEFA Cup one year earlier. The Portuguese giants are regulars in the Champions League, but they’ve failed to reach the semi-finals since their 2004 success.

Celtic FC also have a European Cup in their trophy cabinet. The great Scottish club beat Inter Milan in the 1967 European Cup final. They’re an unstoppable force in domestic football, boasting more than 50 Scottish Premiership titles.

Like Porto, Celtic regularly compete in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Yet, they’ve struggled to advance to the knockout stages in the competition. In 2012/13, Celtic did advance to the last 16 after progressing from a group that featured FC Barcelona. There, they were thrashed 5-0 on aggregate by Juventus.

FC Porto vs Celtic FC Head to Head

FC Porto’s encounter with Celtic in the 2002/03 UEFA Cup final was undoubtedly the biggest match between these two clubs. The Glaswegian outfit reached their first European final in more than 30 years but faced heartbreak, succumbing to a dramatic 3-2 defeat against Porto. Henrik Larsson's brace added to the thrill, but Celtic ultimately fell short, with Derlei's 115th-minute extra-time winner sealing victory for Jose Mourinho’s side.

In addition to their memorable final clash, Porto and Celtic locked horns in the 2001/02 Champions League group stage. Celtic claimed a 1-0 victory in front of their passionate supporters thanks to a Henrik Larsson goal. However, Porto secured a commanding 3-0 win in the return fixture on Portuguese soil.
