Extra time : 1-0 porto

Pacifico

It is 1-0 to Porto, Carlos Alberte (sp?).

Big Ears

Yep very good reactions by the third yougest goal scorer in a European Cup / champions League final .

Pepe LeFrits

Monaco are a bit unlucky to be 1-0 down at half time, they were definately the better side. Hopefully there'll be more goals.

mike65

Piss poor match overall, though a well taken goal.

Mike.

Carlos got booked for taking his shirt off, was that always a rule in the UEFA?? Seems like a stupid rule to me.

Pepe LeFrits

2-0 to Porto now, Deco. Depressing to watch, I wonder how much Porto paid the linesman.

eirebhoy

Deco left it late.:mad:

Deco????

Did Anto and Micko get the assist??

zAbbo

3-0 shes over

Pacifico

The camera work is class though.

Stopping it for a tackle/goal and panning around it. Quality.

talk about flukey winners. the most undeserved 3 - 0 win I've ever seen. The first goal was incredibly lucky. Could also have been offside, need to see it again. Porto had what 3 shots in total. Anyways hope Mourinho goes to Chelsea. There's no way that flukey fúcker will maintain that luck next year. As an arsenal fan its hard to say but they're even more undeserving european champions than Man U were.

Your definition of flukey must be different to mine. Porto took their chances and they have to be praised for doing so.

Ah stop moaning! Porto did what they do better than anyone since Liverpools heyday. Cagey and fast counter-attacking. I take my hat off to them.

Porto are also the first team since the Pool of 76/77 to win the two major trophies back to back.

Mike.

Pacifico

Hmmm.. the monaco Keeper seams to be at fault for (at least) 2 goals

woosaysdan

fair play to porto uefa cup last year champions league this year!!!

vorbis

3 chances 3 goals, and terrible linesmen are what I would call being both lucky and flukey. Pity Monaco couldn't have found an actual goalkeeper.

Pacifico

wtf, Murinio (again sp?) walks off when they get the cup?

I know he's leaving but in fairness......

Ronan|Raven

He said that it was the players occasion and he didnt want to take away from them.

Porto deserved it! Monaco were ****e pure and simple

Mourinho has the magic touch for sure Chelsea will be lucky if they get him

Pacifico

He said his family was waiting for him:rolleyes:

He also said he's going to England next year:p

eirebhoy

I'm just after listening to Mourinho. he said he left the celebrations because his wife and kids were in the tunnel and they are more important than celebrations.

He also said it was definitely his last match and his preferred destination would be England. He said that he also has a preferred club that he talked about before and nothing has changed. The interviewer asked him if it was Chelsea but i think he said he would prefer to manage Liverpool on a number of occasions. "You'll know in a few days".:)

Big Ears

London club eh ? sounds like yee overly optimistic spurs fans who thought Martin ONeil would come to spurs are gonna have mourinho as manager

CivilServant

Giles said that Liverpool might be the preferred choice because at Porto the chairman dealt with the business side of managing the club and left mourinho to manage the football. At chelsea he'd might not get a chance to pick the players he wants and might have to accomodate players because of ambramovich.

At least at Liverpool he will be left alone by the chairman. Plus it's more of a challenge.

sorry, i meant England not London.:dunno:

mike65

Dumph said Liverpool, while Houghton reckoned Chelsea but Mourinho is so no-nonsence he'd be mad to risk Abramovich and Kenyon.

i'd like to see him at liverpool he would be a good manager for them!!!

I didnt see the match alas and the goal highlights never reflect what went on but its a good result for Porto.

In a way its a shame the discussion about where managers will be etc has been discussed more than the match itself. The main club competition in the world is the CL, where everybody is aiming for etc, and the two clubs that got there did very well.

Porto and Mourinho should have been allowed to enjoy the night in full for what it was, rather than Mourinho having that issue in the back of his mind, and being asked about it by media rather than the final itself. Also, Mourinho didnt seem to be very happy at all - most strange. He should have been delerious.

I think Uefa should enforce a code of practice so that movement of players/managers etc can only be discussed and finalised during certain windows. Its not easy to enforce as people will talk and tongues will wag, and legally, people can do what they like, but Uefa/Fifa do have the powers to impose fines, etc and ban people from their sport for "bringing the game into disrepute", etc. Its probably a bit draconian but the sport is ruined to some extent if the money-led what-ifs are more important than the players kicking the ball on the grass!

just some thoughts ...
