Barcelona made it two wins from two in the Champions League after Ferran Torres netted the winning goal in their 1-0 win over FC Porto at Estádio do Dragão.

Robert Lewandowski was hurt in the first half, so the former Manchester City forward took his place.

Torres then scored the game-winning goal just before halftime by driving in a pass from Ilkay Gundogan.

In the second half, Porto tried to tie the game, and Barcelona had Gavi sent off in the 93rd minute, but they were able to hold on.

The home team wasn’t able to score because goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen blocked Wendell’s shot and deflected Galeno’s curling shot.

Lamine Yamal, a 15-year-old from Barcelona, made more history during his impressive breakout season.

He was the youngest player to start a Champions League game. He was 16 years and 83 days old.
