Everybody Quote by Deco
“I remember the game I played with Porto at Old Trafford in 2004 quite well. It was the second leg of the first knockout round. We had won the first game 2-1. Manchester United were leading 1-0, but Costinha got the equaliser in the very last minute. It was an emotional night for everybody.”

![“Id like to think that we are still favourites with the second leg to come at home and in front of our fans.
