Liverpool approached a UEFA Champions League semi-final with Barcelona or Manchester United after sweeping Porto 2-0 in the quarter-finals first leg at Anfield on Tuesday night, while Tottenham Hotstar had a slight credit for manchester favourites. .
Away from the defeated drama that accompanied the Reds’ candidacy by the name of the Premier League, Nathrough Keita and Roberto Firmino attacked in the first 26 minutes to put the hosts in control. At tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium, South Korean striker Son Heung in London – min scored at the end of the time enough for a 1-0 win, but the quarter-final attack broke down due to Harry Kane’s possible past injury in the season.
“2-0 is a great result, I would have taken it before the match and I take it now,” said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
“It’s a smart game, a controlled game. We deserved the 100 percent win and scored two magnificent goals. “Liverpool’s only remorse would possibly be not to have built a more angry advantage to take Portugal on the return next week.
However, a fourth blank sheet in five Champions League home games this season and a home purpose at the Estadio do Dragao on 17 April will leave Porto with 4 to progress.
“We have to go, we have to fight, Porto will do everything they can to fight again but that will be the case in the Champions League quarter-finals,” Klopp added.
Liverpool beat the Portuguese giants 5-0 in the first leg of their last match of 16 last season and the score could have been so embarrassing for Sergio Conceicao’s men if the hosts had been more accurate against the goal.
It took the hosts five minutes to open the scoreboard, as Keita scored its purpose for the time being in so many games after waiting nine months to open his Liverpool account.
The Guinean took advantage of a gigantic detour from Oliver Torres when his shot from the edge of the area left veteran goalkeeper Iker Casillas helpless.
Mohamed Salah ended his eight-match drought when Liverpool returned to the Most Sensible Premier League standings with a 3–1 win in Southampton on Friday, but the Egyptian was on the corner when he failed to double the host’s lead with only Casillas. . to beat a few moments later.
Defense of Porto
He was visibly furious at the weakening of his team’s defence, however, Porto may have returned smoothly in a draw when Alisson Becker kept up well with Moussa Marega’s feet.
Liverpool then had to check the VAR for a possible handball opposite Trent Alexander-Arnold, while Alisson placed the ball on his side.
Soon, however, Alexander-Arnold helped twist the knife in Porto in the other ending with his final eighth hand of the season.
Jordan Henderson, betting on a more complex midfield position than usual, cut off the visiting defense for england’s foreigner to make Firmino take advantage of the empty goal.
“Hendo is a brilliant player and I’m satisfied he can prove it again,” Klopp said.
“He loves this position, so it’s my fault he played for a year and a role as a beginner player, but we needed him there. “Only a matter of centimetres denied Liverpool a third place at the beginning of the time part when another Henderson was just given Sadio Mane at home, but the Senegalese was out of the game.
The delicate balance Liverpool will have to strike to maintain their quest for European glory as they sought to finish a 29-year wait for a league name was evident when Klopp withdrew Mane and Firmino in the last quarter with an eye on Sunday’s Premier League stopover at Chelsea.
However, this proved to be a luxury for Liverpool, as it seemed, for a moment in the Champions League semi-final in many other years.
Fighting spurs
Mauricio Pochettino challenged The ‘crazy’ Tottenham to the task after his 1-0 win over City.
Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris also enjoyed a comfortable moment of redemption on a complicated crusade when he stored Sergio Aguero’s kick in the first half.
Pochettino was very pleased with Tottenham’s demonstration against Premier League champions, but insisted that the playoff is still delicately marked.
“We have shown wonderful quality. We were all excited and motivated to play this game,” he said.
“The good, fantastic power and the penalty save gave us a huge boost.
“There are 90 minutes left to play and it’s Manchester City, but with the spirit we play, anything is possible. “
Tottenham’s victory in an unforeseen turn after Kane injured his left ankle in a shot over Fabian Delph at the beginning of the middle of the moment.
Kane will have proof on Wednesday, but Tottenham manager Pochettino fears his star striker will miss the rest of the campaign.
“He’s very unhappy and very disappointing. We’ll miss him for the rest of the season,” he said. “It’s a fear for us. We hope it’s not a big deal. But there’s grand-chose. il’s no time to recover. He sprained his ankle. “
City was only to blame for getting merit in the return game in Manchester on 17 April.
Having won the League Cup, reached the FA Cup final and held the premier league name destination in his hands, he is City’s next obstacle in the race by an unprecedented quadruple.
But the city chief, Pep Guardiola, is convinced that it is “almost impossible” a sweep of the four primary trophies.
He would probably be right about the evidence of a demonstration of the city that lacked the information and intensity needed to keep Tottenham at bay.
City’s first defeat since the 29 January defeat in Newcastle is not fatal to his European ambitions, however, they will want to do so in that strained effort to prevent Tottenham from reaching his first European semi-final since 1984.
“No one said it would be easy. We have to show what we can do in the next game,” Guardiola said.
“We had more control, the moment we didn’t say anything.
“It was smart functionality but it’s the Champions League. We lost, we have the game moment and we’re going to see what happens. “
Son rises
If Guardiola was afraid to subdue Tottenham and the bustling crowd at his new stadium, his team had a golden chance in the 12th minute. Raheem Sterling intervened from the left and left three Tottenham defenders in his wing before unleashing a shot that struck Danny. Rose’s arm rose when The Tottenham’s left side slid to block.
There was no penalty penalty from City, but after consulting var, Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers conceded the shot loose.
However, Lloris dived to his left to save Aguero’s penalty with a very good tackle.
Kane was preoccupied with a physical war with the City’s defense, but his attempt to combat the fireplace site through the fireplace site proved his downfall in the 55th minute.
Crunching in an overdue challenge over Delph in the band line, Kane gave the impression of twisting his ankle before he promptly indicated that he was leaving.
Seeing England captain, who scored 24 goals this season, limping through the tunnel may have been fatal for Tottenham.
However, they have thrived in Kane’s absence for seven games with the ligament in his left ankle before this season.
And once again, they took on the challenge of taking the lead in the 78th minute. When Son overcayed City’s offside trap, it became clear that his touch was too strong to deserve.
But he kept the ball at stake with surveillance, taking advantage of Delph’s break to protest the resolution by hitting a low Ederson workout from a short distance.
Guardiola once infuriated Pochettino by calling Tottenham ”Team Harry Kane”, now Son has provided the best reaction to this taunt.
