Yes, they did win the match; but they lost the round (the first leg result
was 3-1 for Real Madrid)

For future reference: Video! :-P
(advantage: you can forward the boring parts of the match...)

They're being so underpaid compared to great soccer stars... :-D

Today's results:

Boavista 0, CELTIC 1 (agg. 1-2)
Lazio 0, FC PORTO 0 (agg. 1-4)

Final is to be played in Seville on Sunday, May 4th.

I just came home from te airport, where I've been waiting for the FC Porto
team to arrive from Rome - under pouring rain, around 5000 people held on
for 4 hours just to greet their idols with endless chantings and cheers. And
it was fun, despite the fact I recognize this behaviour has absolutely no
rational grounds...

Oh heck - I'm happy, and that's what matters. For a day I'll indulge myself
to become an epicurist... as long as I don't make a habit out of it, it
can't be that bad, NE? ;-)
