From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Bayern Munich produced one of the best first-half performances in recent Champions League memory as they blew by Porto to reach the semi-final of the competition.
Trailing 3-1 after the first-leg, Bayern needed two goals to come back into the match and took just 22 minutes to do so, after Thiago Alcantara and Jerome Boateng both scored with headers.
But Pep Guardiola's men weren't done there and went on to score three more goals in the first-half, with Thomas Muller especially impressive as he scored a goal of his own and set up two more for Robert Lewandowski.
With the score at 5-0 the game was over, although Jackson Martinez scored to spark a 10-minute comeback by Porto before Ivan Marcado was sent off and Xabi Alonso curled in a gorgeous free-kick.
