Porto midfielder Marco Grujic showed great acting talent in the Champions League round of 16 return leg against Juventus.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: WHO RELEASED IN THE 1/4 FINALS. After blocking from midfielder Adrian Rabiot from Turin, he fell to the lawn like a knocked down and grabbed his face.

Next came the funniest. Gruich, demonstrating mortal agony, lay on the grass and surreptitiously spied on the referee's decision. Cameras recorded how the football player could barely hold back a smile. The fans reacted to the Porto player simulation differently: some called it shameful, while others just laughed, recalling the famous simulation of Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets in the semi-finals of the 2009/10 Champions League against Inter. Porto knock Juventus out of the Champions League with a win on aggregate. After a 2-1 home win, the Dragons lost 2-3 in overtime in Turin and moved on thanks to the away goal rule.

Juventus are knocked out of the Champions League for the second time in a row in the round of 16 for the first time in history, and Turin leader Cristiano Ronaldo has not scored a goal in the Champions League playoff for the first time since 2005. Also, the Portuguese for the first time in 15 years in two seasons in a row could not reach the Champions League quarterfinals.

The draw for the Champions League quarterfinals and semi-finals will take place on 19 March.

Quarter-final games are scheduled for April 6-7 and 13-14.
