He also secured two UEFA Super Cup titles as part of an enviable collection of silverware secured in the Spanish capital. There is work to be done in his latest European outing, though, with Porto heading into the second leg of their last-16 showdown with Juve trailing 2-0 on aggregate.</blockquote>
