what a return to winning ways and this after Eden Hazard was not playing after the playmaker was injured for 6 weeks with a broken arm.

a fair result to be honest both teams played well and deserved a share of the points and this makes the porto game a must win to keep top spot in the group

nice mate, see you haven't updated for a while so hopefully that will change.. 2nd in the league isn't bad, as it's a pretty tough division. if you're looking for players, nick a few from stade rennais' team, they have some world class youngsters.
