It's got nothing to do with favouritism. He is a brilliant fit next to Ronaldo.

Good game. Proud of our performance today.

Davinson Sanchez is a monster. Have to give props to Sissoko as well.

Leipzig 3-2 Porto

Awful perfomance by Porto, we got ''lucky" with this result. Leipzig was always better.

They really tested Verts and I'm not sure he was ever beaten. He had like 40 tackles it seemed like.

It's his movement, passing, and, defensive versatility that allows Ronaldo to shine and he hasn't lost any of those things. You can sign a superior finisher like Lewandowski who spends the majority of his time in areas that Ronaldo likes to seep into and watch the mess that unfolds.

Yep. If they all win their groups and we place second as expected, that would leave three groups to draw from for us.
