Benitez: no repeat of Porto stalemate

LIVERPOOL’S manager and captain are in unison — what happened to the five-times European champions in Porto must never happen again.

A bemused Liverpool squad returned from Portugal with the most fortunate Champions League point they are ever likely to claim after a poor display in the Estadio do Dragao, when somehow and under constant pressure they managed a 1-1 draw in their opening Group A match.

Manager Rafael Benitez insisted afterwards that he will never tolerate such a display of incompetence again.
