An apotheosis Oporto rages with Villarreal

First of all, live football! Thanks to Porto and Villarreal for giving us a party on the lawn of the Estádio do Dragão and get outside for a couple of hours of complaints and other nonsense that does not get more than embarrass those who love this sport. This first leg of semifinals of Europe League has served to reconcile with the ball. What failed, or near, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona on Wednesday.

Unfortunately, this festival of football ended with a completely beaten Villarreal. That is the promise very happy when in the dying seconds of the first part was ahead on the scoreboard with a header from Cani network. But in the second half saw a flurry of physical strength and offensive, inflamed by the harangues of a Vilas-Boas that just 33 years, still stands as one of the most interesting technical international scene .

Final result of 5-1, and four of them goals with the signing of Falcao. Colombian striker, a show, makes up a dream attack with Hulk and Guarin. Throughout the game going crazy behind Castellon, who was roundly overwhelmed with the speed, power and flooding of the Portuguese side.

That hunger for goal, the fixation with the opponents' goal, is something which must be welcomed as both Porto Villarreal. After watching the previous day as the supposed two best teams in the world, spent 60 minutes out of the minutes pass and avoid conceding a priority, it is nice to see two teams from the first minute to go with all the opponents' goal. Each with their weapons, but sharing intention. Porto, with its ease and speed. Villarreal, with his taste for touching and cons of Nilmar and Rossi. Many times were those of Garrido clear during the first half, building on the block lines adelantadísimas Vilas-Boas.

The second part was another movie. It is not only the motivation and the aggressiveness with which left Porto, or the grace of being in the first instant a strict penalty for causing the stalemate. Note also the confusion of Villarreal, his inability to control the game, probably caused both by the downfall of the local football as an obvious lack of fitness.

The fact is that since joining the 2-1, the feeling was that the sooner the end comes, the better. The ease with which Hulk burst down the right and put the third tray to Falcao, only served to confirm our suspicions. A party that reflects the idea that Porto are a team to the level of final rounds of the Champions League. It seems that the dream will not yellow submarine semifinals, but with his head held high.
