Barcelona matchwinner Torres: We knew victory at Porto important

Ferran Torres was delighted proving Barcelona's matchwinner at Champions League opponents Porto.

Torres struck the only goal of the game for the 1-0 win.

"It's very tough to play for Barça and I'm going to make the most of every minute I have," he said later.

"Before the game we had talked about the fact that more than half of the qualification was dependent on winning on this pitch.

"It was a win that we had to get. We showed that we are good on the ball, but that we can also suffer without it."

Torres added: "Football is also about taking advantage of the opposition's mistakes. We didn't know how to counter their pressure, but the important thing was the victory."
