Saviola wary of Porto threat

Malaga striker Javier Saviola has admitted that his team will face a tough challenge when they take on Porto in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The Spaniards, who finished ahead of AC Milan in Group C, were drawn against the 2004 winners on Thursday.

"Porto will be a complicated and tough opponent," Saviola is quoted as saying by AS. "I played against them during my time at Benfica and I know how good they are."

Malaga welcome Real Madrid to the Estadio La Rosaleda in La Liga on Saturday.
