No, they're looking bad. They got lucky scoring a goal, too.

They might not be looking like world beaters but it doesn't change the fact that Porto's first goals were awarded to them by some really uncharacteristic individual mistakes, not because of Bayern's system or great offensive play by Porto. Fair play to Porto for pressing the defenders and everything but still those errors should have never happened.

Megged twice in a matter of minutes.....[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Luiz the gift that just keeps giving [emoji106]

Tbf, he should not be playing. He suffered a hamstring injury just 10 days ago. He's heavily restricted in his movements. Suarez's 2nd goal was absolutely brilliant though. Top class.

Barca have embarrassed another team. That front three is too good. Three players that can hit you with individual brilliance. Strong defensive display as well. Can't say I envy PSG for having to face them. That game is over.

How is it possible for 3 players to make major individual errors in the same game? Dante, Boateng and Alonso have really cost their side today. Huge win for Porto. They were fantastic overall. The intensity, the pace.. Amazing. Combined with quality play on the ball. They played without fear and went at Bayern. Attacking and defending collectively, that's what it's all about.

Bayern were poor. They lose too much quality, invention and individual brilliance with both Robben and Ribery out. It's like Chelsea without Hazard and Matic/Costa. They're capable of destroying Porto at home (if Robben and/or Ribery is back), but Porto are no pushovers. I think Porto will manage to go through.

More the fault of the PSG staff then for bringing him on. This isn't the last knocking of the French cup, this the CL where every decision counts vitally. If he was not fit he shouldn't make the bench, no excuses and they have enough so called quality to field a fit player and switch things around rather than bring on Luiz and watch him get murdered. A fully fit Luiz is a worry, a half fit Luiz is like a fucking disaster.

This just shows how good robben is.

Without him, bayern are a second tier team

They're so dull without him and Ribery. You can notice Alaba's absence as well.

They have a squad filled with great players but those players lack incisiveness, width and the individual quality to conjure up some magic. They made a big mistake going into the season without a backup for Robben and Ribery.
