detailed
Tiktukno, 12.3/Sport1
Arsenal presented perhaps their worst game of the season three weeks ago, when they finished 90 minutes without any threat to Porto's goal frame, conceded in the 90+4th minute and lost in Portugal 1:0.
Tonight they hosted the Dragons hoping to return to the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time after 14 years, since the 2009/10 season in which they passed the same porto in the round of 16.
So it ended with a crushing 0:5, this time in a dramatic penalty shootout that ended 2:4 and the return of the gunners to the last eight stage of the prestigious factory.
The Premier League leader had to do without Gabriel Martinelli and he was replaced on the left wing by Andrew Trossar, who was the only one to find the net this evening in 120 minutes.
It was a game that did not rise to a high level and in which the Gunners once again struggled to create situations.
It was actually Avnielson who forced a fine save from David Raya, but in the 41st minute Trossar benefited from an outstanding header from Martin Odgor and put Arsenal ahead before the break.
The pressure grew and in the 67th minute the Norwegian captain was already celebrating, but a foul by Kai Habertz on Pepe, who became the oldest field player in the history of the Champions League at the age of 41, disallowed the host's second goal.
Bokayo Saka and his teammates played a very anemic game and were hardly challenged towards the end of the game and throughout the 30 minutes of extra time, but luckily for Mikel Arteta, David Raya, who did not play against Brentford last Saturday in the league because he is on loan from them, stood between the posts, deflected both Wendel and Galeno's penalties And it ended with 2:4, which returned Arsenal to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after 14 years.
Porto counts 23 consecutive losses on English soil and a fourth game in a row in Arsenal's field where they don't score, at least they stay with the compliments.
Another bad game from him.

The level is getting lower and lower as the minutes tick by, but will we still get to see at least one goal in the last quarter of an hour?
