Porto 0 - Liverpool 5

[JFK-1 1,693]

Impressive result and puts this beyond doubt before the return at Anfield.

 

Quote

Liverpool registered the joint-biggest away Champions League knockout win, equalling Bayern Munich's 5-0 win at Sporting Lisbon in February 2009 and Real Madrid's at Schalke in February 2014.

 

This is Porto's heaviest home European defeat and the first time they have conceded more than three goals in a home European match.

 

Liverpool are the first English side to score five goals in an away Champions League knockout match.

 

Mohamed Salah became the first Liverpool player to score 30 goals in all competitions in a single season since Luis Suarez (31) in 2013-14.

 

Salah has now scored in five consecutive matches in all competitions, the first Reds player to achieve that feat since Divock Origi in December 2016.

 

Trent Alexander-Arnold became the youngest Liverpool player to feature in a Champions League knockout match, aged 19 years and 130 days.

 

Alexander-Arnold is the fifth youngest Englishman to feature in a Champions League knockout game, behind only Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere and Wayne Rooney.

 

Liverpool have won four matches by five or more goals in all competitions this season, the first time they have achieved that since the 1985-86 season (five victories by that margin).

A Man Utd fan at work told me yesterday that Liverpool are the only English club who won't get through to the last 16.

 

I might remind of this comment today.

Was impressive. But Porto arent as good as they was.

 

So far the 3 english clubs are in the better positions, City have done their job. Spurs have to be favourites as Juve have to score but that is still in the balance.

 

Man Utd and Chelsea both have tough ones. Barca favourites for Chelsea but Sevilla will be a tough game for Man Utd.
