Porto have one foot in the Champions League’s semifinals after their shock 3-1 win at home over Bayern Munich in Wednesday’s Champions League quarterfinal, first leg.
.
Porto carry a weighty advantage to Munich for Tuesday’s return leg at the Allianz Arena while Bayern have a glimmer of hope after their away goal, but still need to score at least twice at home.
.
“That result is a surprise and we knew it wouldn’t be easy against a side who control possession,” said Porto captain and goal-scorer Jackson Martinez.
.
“But we took our chances and proved that we can play too.
.
“I don’t feel 100 percent still, but I trained hard in the last few days and was pleased to get a goal,” he added having missed the previous six weeks with a hamstring injury.
.
In Munich, Porto will be without Real Madrid-bound defender Danilo, who is suspended after picking up a late yellow, but they deserved their win after exploiting mistakes by Bayern’s Xabi Alonso and Dante.
