Liverpool fans drool over FC Porto star Eder Militao after Wednesday win

Liverpool earned a comfortable 4-1 win away at FC Porto on Wednesday night to progress into the Champions League semi-finals – and one Porto player has impressed Liverpool fans.

Sadio Mane opened the scoring, sliding in a Mo Salah pass that VAR had to check. Salah himself made it two in the second half, being played through on goal and finishing neatly past Iker Casillas.

Porto got one back, but Roberto Firmino put the game beyond doubt, heading home after an excellent cross from captain Jordan Henderson. Virgil van Dijk scored a fourth from a corner.

But it was Porto defender Eder Militao that caught the attention of Liverpool fans, with the versatile defender impressing throughout and scoring Porto’s only goal with a powerful header.

Militao is only 21 years of age, but has been a regular in Porto’s side this season. Playing on the right side of the defence or centre-back, Militao has already earned a Brazil cap – and scored five goals this term.

Liverpool fans took to Twitter after the match, and Militao was the talk of many Liverpool fans. It is unsurprising, then, that the youngster is joining Real Madrid at the end of the season for £43million (Goal).

Real have signed a good player in Militao

Militao is probably the only player from the team who deserved that goal over the two legs

Not to brag or anything but apart from Militao, I thought Porto were really low on quality. Crosses were going out, long balls misplaced, shots way off target. They looked really out of place. #LFC #Liverpool #PORLIV

Hard game to watch tonight, lfc just on another class at the moment, and fcp not clinical up top, its been an issue for a few seasons now, Eder Militao on the other had, he seems to get better and better and only 21! #lfc #FCPorto

shame Liverpool didn't move for him, would have been great back up to VVD/Gomez or Trent
