Champions League: FC Porto crash out

FC Porto as usual provided the most telling version of its football in Europe, playing better than Malaga over two legs but as usual losing due to the fact that in the Champions League there is one reality: you cannot miss half-chances and you cannot allow half-chances to become goals.

In the other match, Arsenal went to Bayern to win by two goals but it was not enough. However, Arsene Wenger showed yet again what he is made of. Arsenal without Wenger...??
