WATCH: Innovation Champions - Porto's deadly counterattack poised to fire in UEFA Champions League

After dramatically inching past Roma in the Round of 16, Porto are dreaming of adding to their 2004 Champions League success.

To do that though, they have to find a way past five-time winners and last season's finalists Liverpool. An arduous task indeed, but so is trying to contain Porto's dangerous counterattack.

Sergio Conceicao's side rank first for big chance conversion rate, and they are also second for direct speed in this season's UEFA Champions League.

Their counterattacking style has proved too hot to handle for their UCL opponents so far - they have scored 19 goals in Europe's premier club competition this season.

Watch the video above for the statistics and full breakdown.
