However, Chelsea made short work of the same opponents with a 2-0 first leg victory away from home.

“Porto clearly were beatable,” Capello told Sky Sport Italia.

“This was a very different game to the Juve one. Tuchel prepared it well, the defence was excellent, not allowing Porto very much at all, despite the fact they tried to push forward.

“Mason Mount’s goal was a gem. Tuchel also changed five players compared to the game he lost in the Premier League at the weekend. That showed he is in control of the situation.”
