Ferran Torres on fire and Marc-Andre ter Stegen on top as Barcelona get lucky in Porto

In a week where all of the focus on planet football seemed to centre around English officials and VAR operators, there’ll surely be question marks over the appointments of Anthony Taylor and Stuart Attwell for Porto’s Champions League tie against Barca.

On more than one occasions, VAR Attwell didn’t intervene when he quite clearly should have, the obvious penalty for the Portuguese side in the first half being just one decision that springs to mind.

No matter, that’s a discussion for another day.

What’s worth dwelling on is how well Ferran Torres did after replacing an out-of-sorts Robert Lewandowski who may or may not be out for some while.
