Arsenal defender Campbell: Denilson almost sold me out!

Sol Campbell admits he was rattled by his first touch for Arsenal in this week's Champions League comeback against Porto.

The former England defender made his return to Champions League football during the week for the first time in three years.

"I wasn't happy that Denilson played the ball behind me in the first minute!" he told The Times. "It was the perfect through-ball. I thought is he playing for us or what? That opened up the lungs and got me nice and warmed up straight away. But it was great being back. You live and dream for those nights, mixing it with the best. It was a great night - I loved it."
