Thiago Alcantara revelled in the feeling of scoring at Anfield on Wednesday.

The Spain midfielder was named man-of-the-match in the 2-0 win over Porto, in which he scored a thunderous strike.

He said after the game: "It is always special to score a goal, it's always special to help the team and it's always special to score in this stadium.

"So I'm really happy for it. I am really glad that the action was the beauty that I like to bring in football. I am happy for it.

"In the end we are talking about Champions League nights. The games are special against big teams and the small details make the difference. A couple of details we had during the game were the two goals and we were more efficient than them in the last quarter of the pitch."
