Minnows' progress pleases Platini
Uefa president Michel Platini and the Champions League trophy
Cluj's unexpected progress through the Champions League qualifers into the main tournament has delighted Uefa president Michel Platini.

The Frenchman has campaigned for a greater share of places in the main competition to countries from outside the top-ranking nations.

"That is what makes football so great," Platini said after Cluj's victory over Roma, while Cypriot champions Anorthosis Famagusta held Werder Bremen to a 0-0 draw.

"It is what people like (Arsenal boss Arsene) Wenger do not want, little clubs beating the big clubs, because they want their business."
