Nicholas Otamendi might have gotten Argentina the win with the match's only goal. But it was Leo Messi all the way and by some distance. He whipped in the corner that led to the centre back's first goal for the Albiceleste. This was Alejandro Sabella's debut and he must have been glad the little maestro was at hand to pull the strings.

By Chris Wright

Radamel Falcao's 17th (18th if you, unlike UEFA, count the qualifying rounds) goal of the Europa League campaign was enough to see Porto crowned champions against domestic stablemates Braga at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin last night a victory that, in turn, will almost certainly see those comparisons between Andre Villas Boas (who is now the youngest man ever to win the competition, aged just 33) and a certain predecessor of his reach nigh-on insufferable levels from here on out.

Villas Boas leads Porto to glory

MIKE JACOBS at related • 0 views
Porto has been dominating Portugal this season, and a large reason for that is manager Andres Villas Boas.

Gabriele Marcotti of Sports Illustrated writes about Porto and their dynamic coach.

There's a team in Europe that is still in the hunt to win every competition this season. A club which is dominating its league, ahead of its perennial archrival, which itself is having, statistically at least, a great season.
