Porto Stay Alive In The Champions League
I must admit after Benfica drew against Manchester United yesterday I was thinking at least there will be one Portuguese team left in the Champions League. After Porto lost 3-0 on the weekend in the Taca de Portugal I wasn’t exactly high on them flying to the other end of Europe and getting three points. Thanks to Hulk however Porto came away with a 2-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League keeps their hopes of advancing alive.
By the way raise your hands if you had Apoel advancing from the group in your Champions League pool? Raise your hands if you are even in a Champions League pool? With Apoel moving on Porto needs a win at home against Zenit to make it to the knockout stages. As Portugal found out against Denmark if Zenit plays for the draw they will find themselves in trouble and at the end of the day if Porto don’t win at home then they can only blame themselves for not advancing.
