Liverpool were fearful of defeat before Porto triumph, reveals Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane has admitted that some his Liverpool teammates were ‘scared’ during the early stages of Wednesday's Uefa Champions League match against Porto.

Despite early pressure from their Portuguese hosts to try and overturn a two-goal deficit from the first leg, the Reds romped to a 4-1 victory at the Estadio do Dragao to bag a 6-1 aggregate win.

Mane cooled down the nerves with his opening effort in the 26th minute before Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Virgil van Dijk sealed the win to render Eder Militao’s strike a mere consolation.
