Champions League: “It’s a magical evening” rejoices Mikel Arteta after Arsenal's qualification. The Gunners defeated FC Porto after a penalty shootout on Tuesday evening in the round of 16 second leg (1-0, tab 4-2) to the delight of their coach.
Arsenal had not been in the European Top 8 since 2010, and then they also had to overthrow the Portuguese Dragons to reach there, after a 2-1 defeat in the first leg. On the scale of Arsenal, this return to the top had the taste of intoxication and the supporters made it understood.
