I don't usually watch the Portuguese league and I've never really paid close attention to Benfica. I already knew that their defense was not that good, but from this Porto game, they look terrible in the air. haven't been able to deal properly with anything that has come into their box.

Sadly, we don't any real physical threat and presence upfront. Can look to target them from set pieces though.

Dont be so naive, they are with their heads in Amsterdam and not in the Portuguese League!

All Porto can do is level their points and UEL is a very big trophy for Portuguese fans (specially after Porto won it a couple of years ago). I bet they are thinking about another shade of blue...

Benfica is a great team, better than Villa or any other team we faced throughout the campaign to the final. They will play much better than today and we have to be careful. We should still be able to win, even without Hazard, but Moses, Torres and our pivot will have to be focused 100% of the time. Mata, Oscar, Ramires, Dave, Luiz, Ashley and Cech must all lead the team and play at their full potential. We need to take our chances, conterting our chances will be crucial, since I dont believe we will have that many chances. We cant let this be another Atletico nor another Corinthians!

We have the chance to win Europa League for the first time, lets have some respect and not dismiss their chances...
