Klopp's men ease on to a two goals lead afte rthe first leg of the Champi­ons League quarte­r-finalLIVERPOOL: Liverpool closed in on a Champions League semi-final meeting with Barcelona or Manchester United as Porto were swept aside 2-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final tie at Anfield. However, a fourth clean sheet in five home Champions League games this season means an away goal at the Estadio do Dragao on April 17th will leave Porto needing four to progress. It took Jurgen Klopp’s men just five minutes to open the scoring as Keita got his second goal in as many games having waited nine months to open his Liverpool account. Liverpool have become accustomed to winning games late in recent weeks in their bid for a first Premier League title in 29 years. However, that proved a luxury that Liverpool could afford to take as they look set for a second Champions League semi-final in as many years.
