Arsenal defeated Porto at the Emirates Stadium, on Tuesday night in a dramatic penalty shootout, securing a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2010. After a pulsating encounter that ended 1-1 on aggregate, David Raya’s heroics between the posts proved decisive as Arsenal prevailed 4-2 on penalties.

The tension was palpable as both teams battled fiercely throughout the match. Despite trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Arsenal displayed resilience and determination against a disciplined Porto side. Leandro Trossard provided the breakthrough for the Gunners just before halftime, calmly slotting the ball into the net after a superb pass from Martin Odegaard.

However, Porto refused to back down, posing a constant threat with their attacking prowess. Raya’s crucial saves kept Arsenal’s hopes alive, denying Wendell and Galeno in the nerve-wracking penalty shootout.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed his jubilation at the hard-fought victory, highlighting the club’s perseverance over the years. “It has been 14 years, which is a long time for a club like Arsenal, and it shows how difficult it was,” remarked Arteta. “We really had to dig in to find the magic moment at the end.”
