They did. Fabiano for example, had a good deal of blame for 2 or 3 goals.
Porto were playing a team 10x their budget and the absences of Danilo and Alex Sandro were major setbacks for them (much more than Robben and Ribery for Bayern), don’t get me wrong, they died standing.
I think it wasn't so much of an outer-worldly exhibition by Buyern but that the way Lopetegui set the midfield verged on suicidal. With four midfielders he basically set a red carpet for Bayern on the wings and cut off Porto’s attacking depth. And Reyes on the right was a pretty poor choice.
