Porto v Liverpool: UEFA Champions League quarter-final – live! | Soccer

20 min: Now Pepe mingles with Salah in the central circle. All these absurdities give Liverpool a much needed chance to catch his breath. "Corona seems to think he should have a decent head on him," says Matt Dony of entertainment. "I'm here all week. Try the bacalhau. "

18 min: Liverpool can not get out of his last third. Salah hacked a clearance but he comes back right away. Militao eases the pressure by pulling away most of the 30 meters. Full note for the ambition, if nothing else.

17 min: Marega wins a physical battle against Van Dijk, who looks so bad. This allows Porto to win a Matip corner. The stopped play leads Marega to kick Pepe for a shot at 20 yards. It is blocked for another corner on the left.

15 minutes: Liverpool lives dangerously right now. Brahimi sends another address to the left. The ball falls to Marega on the penalty spot. He sends a volley for the first time just shouting down the left.

14 min: Corona has Matip on the toast on the left. He reaches the signature and cuts a cross in the center. Van Dijk should come out of the head but miss the ball, allowing Marega, surprise, to improvise a short-term header. It blinks wide to the right.

13 min: A little space for Salah on the right. He is looking to push the ball inside, surely with the aim of throwing one in the top left as he did against Chelsea last weekend. But he takes a heavy pressure and Porto manages to erase his lines. A real first goal-making sense at this game right now.

11 min: The fixed room causes more grief to Liverpool. Marega can not get enough buy on an eight-meter head, and he smiles to the left for a goal kick. But Pepe was not far from connecting to the inadvertent check at the far post. Liverpool is holding a little here.

10 minutes: Corona is good on the left and places a cross in the Liverpool area. Herrera, who comes from deep, moves his head back to make himself a head. Robertson is very good at taking the road and throwing the ball back for a corner.

8 min: Brahimi rushes to Liverpool's surface, sashaying coming in from the right. He strikes from a distance, but the shot goes to the left. It's all Porto in its infancy.

6 min: Another big tackle from Milner, this time on Corona, this time illegal. A free kick for Porto in the middle of the park. The play piece is hooked to the mixer and Marega turns on the penalty spot and sends a low shot to the bottom left. Alisson covered him, and the flag went offside anyway. But Porto raises worries in Liverpool from the start.

5 min: Liverpool was a little passive in these early exchanges. Milner slides on Marega – a legal problem, even if the player and his fans do not like him – sending a signal to his teammates so that their playing surface is lit up quickly.

4 min: It's a pretty hectic start. Marega, who missed some big chances at Anfield last week, led Liverpool to four points. However, he does not really have much space to be shot at and the ball eventually makes its way to Alisson.

2 min: Alisson kicks up and is very fortunate to see the ball make its way to Origi on the left. The surprise selection of Liverpool tries to overtake Militao and actually manages to pass, but he is penalized for having shot on the shoulder of his opponent.

33 seconds: Corona almost gave Porto a sensational start! It slides from the right, past Robertson and van Dijk, and bends sharply between Alisson and the upper left corner. He's flying above the bar. If it had been framed, Alisson had been beaten! But Liverpool survives an early fear.

And we left! The hosts start the party, as blister The ricochet sound on the four walls of Estadio do Dragao. Recall that Liverpool goes to score 2-0, although this is far from over and dusty, as the following statistic illustrates: Porto is the only remaining club in the competition with a record of 100% to home. We go, then!

The teams are outside! Porto is wearing his blue and white shirt while Liverpool is wearing red. Wild atmosphere in the dragon's den. The local team has not done much warming, at least not on the ground, where the rain continues to rain. Liverpool will be more used to conditions, so, if nothing else. We will be gone soon, so you will definitely feel a sense of excitement before the game, maybe even a mess among the old nerves. "As a fan of Liverpool, here are three reasons to fear tonight," Aidan O'Keefe begins on the subject. "1: The rain. 2: VAR. 3: The fact that everyone thinks it's a done deal. Far from there; 2-0 largely flattered the 'Pool' last week. I have a bad feeling about it. Porto v Ajax could be the final of the 2019 Big Cup. "

A serious Jurgen Klopp speaks. "There is no problem with Firmino. I'm just respecting the fantastic form that Divock Origi has known for weeks and months and bringing in new legs. That's all. It's the same thing we do in the middle of the field, because we expect a very intense match. We are expecting a Porto team that is fighting hard. We must be ready for that. Of course, Bobby is ready, it's not a rest, it brings Div with his speed. We have to play a normal game. We are not long enough in the company to come here and control or manage the result. When we are at our best level, it could be really uncomfortable for Porto, so we want to win here. We do not want to concede, we want to mark, we want to create. In their stadium, with their audience, of course, it will be different and we have to make sure that it has no influence. "

Weather report. This is absolutely tilt in Portugal. The weather is really epic. English. Lancastrian. Biblical. Look at this!

For you blue. Spotted at Estadio do Dragao, the fabulous four back. They have been much stronger since the arrival of Ringo for Dejan 'Pete Best' Lovren.

Porto has never beaten Liverpool. The two clubs met for the first time in the quarter-finals of the old UEFA Cup in 2001. After a goalless draw in Porto, Gerard Houllier's players won 2-0 at Anfield thanks to Michael Owen and Danny Murphy , before winning the cup. In the group stage of the 2007/08 Champions League, the teams drew again in Portugal and Liverpool again won at home Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Peter Crouch at goals. And then, there was the last 16 round-offs of last year: Sadio Mane, the hero of the hat-trick of a 5-0 win at Estádio do Dragão, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino was also ranked.

Porto will have to break the sequence to qualify for a semi-final against Barcelona. They are 2-0 away in Anfield, Naby Keita and Firmino doing the damage this time. Liverpool has its opponents exactly where they want it: Porto must attack and will end up vulnerable at the counter, where his opponents excel.

But there is hope for the local team and a danger for the Reds. Porto had a chance at Anfield; another day, Moussa Marega could easily score two goals on the outside and the situation would be very different now. They have also won all four home games in the Champions League this season … while Liverpool lost three out of four. Jurgen Klopp's team have also lost five of their last ten games in Europe, all of which are far from home.

Liverpool can not take anything for granted. A goal on the outside would have eased the nerves, forcing Porto to score four. Can the Reds seal the deal and host a semi-final with Barcelona? Or will the champions of Portugal reverse this trend and reach the last four for the first time since the days of Jose Mourinho? We will know it soon enough. It's on!

Start: 20h (local and BST).
