Dortmund would be tough and tougher than say a Real or dare I say it Juve

I want Juve just to teach them a lesson but Porto for 'ease' not that it would be easy

If anyone is familiar with xG stats (expected goals), this table shows how teams compare in the number of goals scored and conceided against the expected goals for and against. This clearly shows how Porto have riden their luck so far in the competition, also in the worst group in term of quality. This also shows we've conceided way more than we should have, with either fluky goals (deflected shot vs PSV for example) or worldy that came out of nowhere (Icardi volley)

You can read about expected goals here : https://www.optasports.com/services/analytics/advanced-metrics/

Anyway, that was just to underline the fact that Porto might be even more out of place in this draw than some of us would think. I'd fully expect us to beat them if we end up playing them.
