Pep Guardiola showered his Bayern Munich players with praise after they steamrollered Porto in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola insists he always had faith his players would turn around their first-leg deficit against Porto in the last eight of the UEFA Champions League.
Trailing 3-1 after a poor performance in Portugal last week, Bayern needed either a 2-0 win or victory by three goals or more to progress to the semifinals for the fourth straight season.
As it transpired, the Bundesliga champions blew their opponents away with five goals in the first half, eventually prevailing 6-1 to seal a 7-4 aggregate success.
