I agree with you Monteiro…People still think that FCP is a medium-sized club and history says the opposite … 2 Champions League, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 European Super Cup, 2 Intercontinental Cups … how many clubs are better than this? Was shown at Old Trafford who is better and I hope that today is just the confirmation. Strength with this boys

It’s incredible as even after a standing performance like this from Porto you still remain arrogant… We look ansious to receive your team next wednesday! I already have the tickets! It´s unbelieveble as you still think football ends in your island…, it seems you dont’s know you only have one more european title then Porto (and that is because that competition started a few years ago…)! Because we truly are humble i hope we will present you with another show of good football and a house full (this time I hope will get a referee like the one that helped you last game!)…

One missed penalty for each team, for fouls at Fletcher and Hulk respectively, one in every half. Very similar actually, both fouls not very clear but quite obvious on the replays. So the correct score should have been 3 – 3. Sometimes it does even itself out.
Other than that, Rooney should have had a dangerous free kick at the end of the game. So I’d rather say the ref slightly favored Porto; but then the 3 – 3 scoreline would have been a bit better for them so the balance seems to be perfect.
The foul that led to United’s second goal was somewhat debatable, but I guess it was correct in the end. Borderline.

So, out of 4 goals, 3 were from defensive blunders and the 4th one following a dubious free kick. (But the goal itself was extraordinary.)

Rob, I went with the dictionary spelling, and Merriam Webster says “Quarterfinal.” That’s good enough for me.

I’m well gutted, thought we’d nicked it towards the end, but as SAF said, If Jonny Evans didn’t come off injured then we wouldn’t have conceded that last goal, We’re getting no bloody luck with these injuries at the moment

Porto have never lost to an English side at home in 11 matches.

Daunting statistic that.
