Alcantara and Salah’s Stellar Performances Ensure Top Spot in Group B

Liverpool continued their impeccable Champions League campaign by defeating FC Porto 2-0 on Wednesday, maintaining their flawless record in Group B. Thiago Alcantara opened the scoring with a magnificent long-range effort in the 52nd minute, while Mohamed Salah added the second goal in the 70th minute, further solidifying Liverpool’s dominance.

Alcantara’s goal was a testament to his skill, as the Spanish midfielder unleashed a first-time strike from 30 yards out after intercepting a headed clearance. The shot remained low and nestled into the corner, showcasing his precision and vision on the field.

Salah’s contribution marked his 10th goal in his last 10 Champions League appearances and his 17th across all competitions this season. Displaying his trademark flair, Salah maneuvered into the penalty area from the right, dropped his shoulder, and fired a low shot past the near post, leaving the Porto goalkeeper with no chance.

With this victory, Liverpool has already secured their place in the last six of the Champions League, even before achieving their fifth consecutive win in the group stage. This accomplishment sets them up for a promising knockout phase, while Porto remains in second place, awaiting their crucial match against Atletico Madrid in two weeks to determine their advancement.

Looking ahead, Liverpool aims to complete a perfect run in the group stage—a historic achievement for an English club—when they face AC Milan in their final group match. Meanwhile, Porto’s upcoming game against Atletico Madrid, who also hold four points, will be pivotal in deciding the team that progresses alongside Liverpool.
