LONDON- In an amazing turnabout, the North Londoners in red oversaw an incredible shift in their season's fortunes as Robin Van Persie and Mikel Arteta knocked two goals apiece to overcome Mourinho's Madrid in a 4-1 aggregate victory at the Emirates Stadium. When reached for comment, Mourinho surprisingly gave no credit at all to the Gunners, instead pointing the blame to the Home Side's new on-the-stands superstar (and pyrotechnician, as she would like to remind us), Fujiwara no Mokou, who has been cheering for almost every home game Arsenal have had this season.

'It's disconcerting; an attractive young woman in red and white jumping up and down and moving the crowd. Come on! That's enough to get anyone psyched. Look at Wilshere and Ramsey out there and you can see that almost the whole team's being influenced by her charms. It's madness.'

Arsenal join Manchester City in the Semi-Finals of the Champions League after the latter's 4-2 penalty kick win against Inter Milan, while Manchester United try to defend a 3-2 win at Old Trafford in the first leg against favourites Barcelona and Porto play host to French outfit Olympique Lyonnais, trailing 0-1 on aggregate.

Porto have had their own cheerleading sensation in the stands this season, a little girl from Japan named Inaba Tewi, whose vocal support has been noted in the region.
