In my ideal world, Porto would lose the spot, but it would not be replaced by Benfica, since they really didn't earn it with football. Unfortunately, your first reason "It's the right thing to do" is barely going to be on the minds of UEFA when they make this choice. Porto needs a real punishment, and missing out on CL cash and exposure is that. I hate to see a team that lost on the pitch get promoted due to another team’s problems.

What a disgace, how are we ever supposed to be respected on an international level?!? Juve gets demoted a division and Porto gets 6 points cut. We look like such punk ass bitches, I'm so pissed right now. Dr. Madaíl has been in bed with Pinto Da Costa forever. As a supporter of the FPF, I am embarrased.
