Intro Join me today to watch a fierce battle of football Portugal. Porto need the win to go first in the group. Atletico Madrid will finish in this group’s Europa League place unless Bayer Leverkusen better their result. If Atletico draw against Porto, Bayer Leverkusen will need to win against Bruges to make it into third. But, if Atletico lose, a draw will be enough to see Leverkusen playing at the European level next year.

What a game Porto go through to take 1 st place in the group, a silent bus ride home for Athletico, out of champions league. Porto really applied Presher right from the start, the referee really played the advantage by not calling fouls at one point i wasn’t sure if i was watching UFC or football. Pepe really stood out for me keeping his man quiet, athletico brought on a new left wing Yanick Carrasco to try and sort him out but did the same thing kept him quiet and played his roll well.
