PORTO, Portugal — Liverpool put one foot in the Champions League quarterfinals with a 5-0 away rout of Porto in the first leg of their last-16 match on Wednesday. The Senegal striker needed no second invitation for his second goal. At the other end, Virgil van Dijk marshalled Liverpool’s defence on his Champions League debut for the club following his winter switch from Southampton. “We needed to play as a team and that’s what we did,” Mane said after his first hat trick for Liverpool. ——More AP Champions League coverage: https://apnews.com/tag/ChampionsLeague
