Champions League Man of the Week: Ricardo Quaresma

Two goals against Bayern is a pretty epic return

JOE

Yes, the same Ricardo Quaresma who was at Chelsea.

Quaresma scored twice in the opening 10 minutes to help his side, Porto, gain a 3-1 win against Bayern Munich last night.

Not bad for a player who didn’t really make the grade at Stamford Bridge during his brief loan spell in 2009.

First he slotted a penalty past the indomitable Manuel Neuer, then he got behind the Bayern defence to double Porto’s lead.

Considering Quaresma has looked out of his depth for Barcelona, Inter and Chelsea in the past, this was an amazing performance.

Porto go into the second-leg knowing the job isn’t done yet, but Quaresma’s two goals have certainly given them more than half a chance.
