With a huge 2-1 win over Porto on Tuesday, Barcelona made it to the next round of the Champions League.

Barcelona fell behind Pepe’s first-half goal, but the impressive Joao Cancelo tied the game right away and gave his team a boost. They knew that losing would give them a lot of work to do on the final day.

After a tie in the first half, Barcelona controlled the second and earned all three points when Joao Felix scored. Xavi’s team now leads Group H.

How the game went down

Within eight minutes, Raphinha hit Diogo Costa in the hands. Barcelona had the ball most of the time and looked lively in attack, but Porto was dangerous on the break in an exciting first 25 minutes.

Midway through the first half, Mehdi Taremi thought he had scored with a beautiful back-heel, but the offside flag was quickly raised, and a quick VAR check confirmed what the referee had seen.

Porto started to make more chances after Inaki Pena made two good saves from Galeno, but Barcelona didn’t listen and winger Pepe scored from close range to put the visitors ahead.

Thankfully, Cancelo replied almost right away. Soon after the half-hour mark, the full-back, who was playing on the left, cut inside and sent a spinning shot high into the bottom corner to tie the game.

Felix had been having trouble scoring lately, as shown by the fact that he hit the bar soon after. Then Raphinha hit the bar after Costa’s poor clearance almost gave Barcelona the go-ahead goal.

At the end of the half, Porto had the last chance. Alan Varela hit a shot that curled toward the far post, but Pena made a great save to keep the score tied at halftime.

Felix hit the crossbar right away after the game started, but ten minutes later he scored when he tapped in Cancelo’s cross to put his team ahead. They earned the lead after Barcelona stepped up their play in the second half.

The pressure didn’t go away in the second half, and Porto had a hard time getting anything going. Even though there weren’t any more goals, Barcelona easily won.
