Something odd on Porto's team sheet
Porto, unbeaten and top of the Primeira Liga, took on Manchester City in the Champions League group stage on 8 September 2026, and The Guardian's live coverage flagged something odd on UEFA's official team sheet without saying exactly what.
Kick-off at the Estádio do Dragão came at 20:00 BST, with Francesco Farioli's side arriving unbeaten and top of the Primeira Liga: five wins from five games.
The Guardian's live blog noted an anomaly on UEFA's official team sheet during the build-up, though the exact nature of it wasn't detailed in the coverage. No word yet on whether it was a team-sheet typo, a shirt-number quirk or something else entirely.
Elsewhere in the group, AEK Athens had already beaten LASK Linz 1-0 by the time Porto and City kicked off, one result in the books before the Dragão's night had even started.
We'll update once there's clarity on what exactly caught the live blog's eye, and once the full match report from the Dragão is in.
