Last 8 Results: Leg 2, Day 2

C. Ronaldo is pumped about the tie-winner.


Porto 0-1 Manchester United {Agg: 2-3, United advance}

------------------------------Ronaldo '6

Cristiano Ronaldo's scorching 35m strike proved all that was necessary to eliminate Porto from the competition. United's defense looks to be back in form as they finally delivered a clean sheet for the first time in six matches.



Arsenal 3-0 Villarreal {Agg: 4-1, Arsenal advance}
Walcott '10
Adebayor '60
Van Persie '69 (pen)

Arsenal made good on their reputation for attacking football in a dominant performance against upstart Villarreal. Young English international Theo Walcott has emerged from injury in even better form as he contributed heavily to the Gunners' forays into the Yellow Submarine's defense. Arsenal will face Manchester United in the fourth all-English semifinal in five years. Incidentally, this is the third year in a row that three English sides are featured in the last four.
