Europeans Champions FC Porto (and my team) get their place in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League in thrilling style with victory against Chelsea FC, while Arsenal FC and Werder Bremen also ensured berths in the first knockout round.

GROUP E
Arsenal claimed top spot in Group E with a 5-1 triumph against Rosenborg BK. Arsenal and PSV finished level on ten points, but the London club took first place given their superior head-to-head record following a 1-0 win against the Dutch team. Well done Gunners and Electric team! :-)

GROUP F
AC Milan's 0-0 draw away to Celtic FC proved enough to win Group F. Milan and Barcelona were ensured qualification at kick-off.

GROUP G
Valencia CF and Bremen were competing to qualify along with FC Internazionale Milano, and it was the German champions, needing only a draw, who prevailed thanks to two late goals. Inter matched their Milanese rivals by winning the group.

GROUP H
On a night of high drama in this pool, European champions Porto joined group winners Chelsea in the first knockout round after coming from a goal down to beat the Londoners. Thanks to Benni McCarthy's (HEYYYYYYYYY BENNY) late strike in a 2-1 victory, Porto did not become the first holders to exit in the group stage (Thank God!). The result also meant heartbreak for PFC CSKA Moskva who were pushed into third despite beating Paris Saint-Germain FC 3-1 at the Parc des Princes with a Sergei Semak hat-trick - the Russian side were provisionally in second place until McCarthy's 86th-minute goal (YEAP, and we were out of Uefa too, when we were loosing...). CSKA at least qualify for the UEFA Cup, some reward for a battling performance that saw them score twice after being reduced to ten men by Deividas Semberas's 54th-minute dismissal (Unbelievable, anyone see the Paris match?). PSG - who held second position at kick-off.
