Portuguese giant, FC Porto will have a huge mountain to climb as they will be travelling to Spain to take in London side, Chelsea, in a bid to overturn a 2-0 deficit at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.

There have been nine Champions League meetings between these two teams, including the first leg, with Chelsea winning just 6 games, while Porto have won 2 matches, and the other game ended in a draw.

Thomas Tuchel’s team won the first leg away and they will be playing at home now, it will be difficult to see anything other than a win for the Blues. For Porto to qualify, they will have to win by a 3-goal margin or 2-goal margin (if both of them score). This looks like a lost cause and the Blues are expected to qualify.

Defending Serie A champions, Juventus had to fight hard to defeat bottom half side, Genoa 3-1 at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday.

Juventus scored the first goal early, following brilliant quick feet from Juan Cuadrado to set up Dejan Kulusevski, who finished with a brilliant left-footed curler. In the 22nd minute, Ivan Radovanović committed a howler and Federico Chiesa led a break and his shot was saved by the keeper, Cristiano Ronaldo’s rebound hit the upright and Alvaro Morata scored from the follow-up. Gianluca Scamacca pulled one back for Genoa just 4 minutes after the break from a Nicolo Rovella corner kick.

Manchester United continued with their away form as they come from behind to beat former manager Jose Mourinho and his Spur team at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, on Super Sunday.

Edinson Cavani thought he had given Manchester United the lead in the 33rd minute, but the goal was chalked due to an early foul on Heung-Min Son by Scott McTominay. The South Korean then scored the opener for Spurs in the 40th minute. Fred levelled matters for the Red Devils in the 57th minute following a poor defending by the hosts. Spurs’ terrible defending would cost them again, as substitute Mason Greenwood sent in a beautiful cross which was well finished by Cavani in the 70th minute. The youngster then sealed the victory for the Old Trafford landlords with a goal in the 96th minute to make it 3-1.

Tottenham’s hope of making the Premier League top 4 is getting thinner, as they sit seventh on the log, 6 points behind West Ham United. Manchester United, on the other hand, are edging closer to securing the second spot as they are now 7 points ahead of Leicester City and they cut the gap between them and neighbours Manchester City to 11 points on the EPL log.

Do you think Mourinho and his team can qualify for Champions League?

Real Madrid captain on the night, Karim Benzema scored a cheeky goal to help 10-man Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano. 

The Blancos took the lead in the 13th minute following a counter-attack from Fede Valverde, who gave a pass to Lucas Vasquez to send in a low cross before Benzema finished past Marc-André ter Stegen. Toni Kroos made it 2-0 in the 28th minute after his freekick deflected off 2 Barcelona players. Oscar Mingueza pulled one back for the visitors on the hour mark, but it was not enough to win 3 points.

With the win, Real Madrid go top of the La Liga table, pending Atlético Madrid’s result away to Real Betis, while Barcelona dropped down to third.
