Monaco is quite tired too (4 championship matchs to go... plus some players will take part in the France-Brazil game)
I can't believe Marseille has done it ( Marseille 2 - Newcastle 0 => qualification for the UEFA Cup final). In fact Drogba did it all...
This year we've got 2 clubs in the 2 European Cups' finals. 😱

Ok, then they'll play with an A-team against Benfica, so what. Has anu of the players actually said in the media he's tired like Henry did? I don't live in Portugal so I can't follow stuff like that as good as you can? If it's not the case, I don't believe there is a problem. Last year, it was almost he same, but still they won the uefa-cup.Ok, the final of the uefa-cup will be Valencia-Marseille . Go Valencia!
They pretty much kept the same team and things are going down hill. It happens to every team. Off course they wont say they are tired! They are professionals, not whining bitches!

B) Hi Kes 😈
C) Benfica fans will die anyway bcs Porto will win. But it would be better if both lose 😛
D) I think you are talking about SPORTING C.P. (Me 🙄 ) because you dont win the league since ten years ago ✅G.P.: I think Porto will try to neutralize Monaco, not the game. And Porto still have some good surprises. And when Porto really needs to attck, believe me that it can attack as well as a Top offensive team. Just...They didnt need it yet. What makes Porto a good team is that it plays to win no mather how.
LOL You were 18 years without wining the championship 😛
Plus dont play dumb, you know Benfica has the most title 😛
And most tripeiros tell me they prefer Sporting to Benfica.

So you're saying Thierry Henry is a whining *****? 😛
It's true, the second goal was a hand goal. Morientes headed against the post, and Ibarra was just next to it. The ball came against his arm and it was a goal. I'm not sure if it was an intentional handball though...

You are wronh we were ONLY 17 years without winning it ( 1982/1983 - 1998/1999) We win it in 1999/2000 🙂
But remember that Porto were 18 years without win the championship too ( 1959/1960 - 1976/1977 ).
And now it your turn. Benfica will wait till 2011/2012 😛
....Bcs we are a friendly team and Sporting fans like to welcome other teams to our stadium. 😗

😑 I didn't see it.
Maybe it was Mourinho instructions to Ibarra. I didn't know how he has playing in French League, but in portuguese league he didn't deserve to play in Porto team.
But it seems it is was a good loan to Monaco. Maybe he scores against at the final game. And return to Porto next game with as a bonus.
Mourinho is evil 😈
Hand of God strikes again: Ibarra admits
MONACO, May 7 (SW) - Monaco player Hugo Ibarra has admitted that he scored with his hand, during the Champions League clash with Chelsea in London on Wednesday.
Chelsea had taken a 2-0 lead, which would have been enough to advance to the next round, but things changed when the Argentinian brought the score back to 2-1 just before the half time whistle.
When the Spanish striker Fernando Morientes headed the ball onto the woodwork, it bounced back and was tipped in by Ibarra, who now admitted that it was his left hand with which he scored.
The Swedish referee Anders Frisk failed to see the moment and ignored the comments of Chelsea goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini and his teammates, for whom this goal was the beginning of the end in this year's European campaign.
"I didn't mean to hit it, but I admit that hadn't I pushed it in with my hand, the ball would have hit my back and there wouldn't have been a goal," Ibarra stated.
The English media have been using the matter to refer to an event eightteen years ago, when another Argentinian, Diego Maradona scored a crucial goal against England with his hand during the quarter final of the Worldcup in Mexico.
The second player to have been helped by the hand of God against an English team, will not be too worried about it however. In the final he will play against the team from which he is on loan at Monaco, FC Porto.

Yeh, I knew Porto had spent some time without winning.
Yeh, right 🙄 Fat chance 😛 But if it does happen we'll probably sttill be on top trophy-wise 😆
😆 Sure sure, I recall a song that goes: "SLB...SLB...Filhos da puta SLB, filhos da puta SLB" that both Porto and Sporting sing even when they are not playing against SLB. And an invasion of the field in the last game 😗
