FC Porto 0-5 Liverpool: 5 Talking Points 

FC Porto v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg
Excellent win for Liverpool

#1 Liverpool can now rest a few players and look forward to the quarter-finals

Jurgen Klop
Jurgen Klopp's side have got themselves some breathing space

Yes, a tie is not over until the final whistle, but even for a Liverpool side who are weak at the back, losing a five-goal lead at Anfield sounds like it's never going to happen. The performance was professional, and afford the Reds the chance to focus on the League games.

Jurgen Klopp's side face Manchester United just three days after the return leg, so it won't be surprising if the likes of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino are rested and some of the fringe players are given a chance.

Of the four games played so far, this was the biggest margin of victory, so Klopp's side indeed put out a statement for the rest of the teams.
