FC Porto vs Barcelona, Champions League: Final Score 0-1, Barça survive second half, escape with three points on the road

Barcelona remain unbeaten this season and are now in sole possession of first place in Group H of the Champions League thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win against FC Porto at the Estádio do Dragão on Wednesday night in Portugal. What was expected to be the toughest away game in the group proved to be the case and Barça were made to suffer for most of the night and somehow survived a brutal second half blitz by the home side, but a first half goal from Ferran Torres and a monumental defensive effort were enough to secure all three points and a crucial away result in Europe for a team in desperate need of one.
