Arsenal secured a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals after a tense penalty shootout victory over Porto at the Emirates Stadium, marking their first appearance in the last eight of the competition in 14 years. Despite Leandro Trossard equalizing Porto’s first-leg lead with a goal in the first half, Arsenal struggled to break down their opponents. Martin Odegaard thought he had secured the win with a second goal, only for it to be disallowed. The game went into extra time, where no further goals were scored. In the penalty shootout, Odegaard and Kai Havertz successfully converted for Arsenal, while goalkeeper David Raya’s crucial saves, including a stunning fingertip save to deny Wendell, ultimately sealed Arsenal’s progression. Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice also scored from the spot, with Raya making another decisive save against Galeno, ensuring Arsenal’s first quarter-final appearance since 2010.
