Porto vs Liverpool Ratings: Liverpool Player Ratings + Fans’ Reaction
Liverpool saw out a rather comfortable 4-1 away victory against Portuguese outfit Porto in the 2nd leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie. Despite a nervous and shaky start from the men from Merseyside, their defence stood strong as Porto rallied to find the goals.
Goals from Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk were enough to see out the Portuguese giants. Although the opponents did get a consolation goal through Eder Militao, the game was nothing more than formality for the Jurgen Klopp’s Reds who progressed with a 6-1 aggregate scoreline.
Here are the Liverpool Player Ratings:
Allison Becker 7
His display in the first 25 minutes of the match earn him a reasonably high rating as he was untroubled for large periods.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 7
Didn’t apply himself going forward quite as much as he usually would but still came up with a good assist.
Joel Matip 7
It’s not easy to look a good defender when you have Virgil van Dijk playing next to you but Matip pulled it off well.
Virgil van Dijk 8
Continued his excellent run of form with another dominant performance in which he scored yet another goal.
Andrew Robertson 7
The youngster had a point to prove as he missed first leg of the tie and he really did trouble the Porto defence.
James Milner 7
Used his vast experience to compose himself in tight situations and did well to keep him calm throughout the tie.
Fabinho 8
The Brazilian was like a brick wall in front of the defence today and he moved the ball well in midfield too.
Georginio Wijnaldum 7
The Dutchman showed his true worth on the night with a rather assured and classy display against high-profile opposition.
Mohamed Salah 8
Put himself about right from the opening knockings and got that all-important 2nd Liverpool goal.
Divock Origi 6
Looked to just be trying too hard on the ball as he barely had any sort of positive impact on the side.
Sadio Mane 7
Wasn’t his usual dynamic self but showed his class with the opener which came against the run of play.
Substitutes
Roberto Firmino 7
The Brazilian replaces Origi in the 2nd half and did exceptionally well to score and see out the win.
Joseph Gomez 6
Gomez was introduced back into the side in the latter stages as he looked to get back to first-team action.
