Villarreal dream continues as Italian giants fall flat

Villarreal 1 Inter Milan 0 (Agg: 2-2)

Argentine defender Rodolfo Arruabarrena levelled the aggregate score at 2-2 when he headed compatriot Juan Roman Riquelme’s clipped free kick over Inter keeper Francesco Toldo 13 minutes into the second-half.

The Primera Liga side, whose first taste of European football came just four years ago when they played in the Intertoto Cup, will meet Arsenal or Juventus in the semi-finals.
