I'm glad for FC Porto. I don't think it will last long. Michel Platini said a few days ago that he's not happy that FC Porto is allowed in the Champions League again.
UEFA sure doesn't look good after rushing into the decision in the first place of kicking them out of the CL.
I know its only sending a wrong signal about UEFA's plans on crackdown on such incidents and Platini is only concentrating on big English clubs than all clubs.
