Twitter reacts on Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Porto in the Champions League Quarterfinals.
Liverpool drew FC Porto in the Champions League Quarterfinals for the second time on a trot. The Reds were comfortable 2-0 victors against the Portuguese outfit, but they will be relieved that the visitors were not able to take their half chances throughout the game.
It was the visitors who started the game on a high, but Liverpool were the team to open the scoresheet. Midfielder Naby Keita’s shot was deflected off the opponent to find the back of the net in the 5th minute. With that goal, the summer signing from Leipzig scored his first goal for Liverpool in the Champions League, after breaking his deadlock against Southampton in the weekend.
The game was gaping, but the Reds took double advantage when Jordan Henderson found an excellent pass to find Trent Alexander-Arnold in the right wing. The English International registered his first assist of this season’s Champions League when he found Roberto Firmino in the far post, who had an easy task of tapping the ball in from close range in the 26th minute.
Porto did not give up, and their one attacker, in particular, Moussa Marega, constantly gave troubles to the centre-backs Virgil Van Dijk and Dejan Lovren. The Malian International unleashed a powerful shot, but Alisson Becker used his leg to divert the ball away to safety. When the Reds defense went to sleep in a set piece situation, Marega shot the ball straight into Alisson Becker’s hands who caught the ball without any fuss.
It was a decent second half and Liverpool’s midfielders did the job brilliantly to shut down Porto from securing an important away goal.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Liverpool’s 2-0 victory in the first leg.
