European Certification

The "quarter-finals" are not exactly next door, around the corner, but on the blue and white quality there is no doubt. With a positive play, ready to win, Arsenal did much more than to contribute to the brightness of the victory of FC Porto. Arsenal gave by its own hand the certificate, more a certificate of guarantee. FC Porto won 2-1, with goals of Varela and Falcao.
