I'm wondering what Arsenal will do as of this stage in the Champions League. They had a successful group stage as expected. Now I can say that they have a comfortable matchup to play against Porto as well. Because I don't believe Porto are one of the teams that can eliminate Arsenal in this tournament. Porto couldn't even beat Barcelona in the group stage. I mean that Barcelona aren't weak of course but I don't think they have played better than Arsenal at all.  Sad

Anyway I see Arsenal in the quarter finals already to tell the truth. But they had better improve their performance more as there is some decline recently.
When Arsenal was drawn against FC Porto in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, I expected Arsenal to win against FC Porto but with the recent performance of Arsenal, I'm not sure if Arsenal could be able to beat FC Porto. If FC Porto can play well in their home, I believe they will beat Arsenal.
Porto certainly benefited in the first leg of the round of 16 because they played in front of their own supporters, of course this provided more motivation in the match. I look at Porto, they really don't want to meet Arsenal in the round of 16, but this has happened, they have to accept it with full preparation, because playing against an English team is always difficult for Porto. However, Porto has experience in the UCL competition, Porto also has history in the UCL, and Porto is of course happy to be the underdog team in this match because this makes them have more strength and motivation than usual.

So you could say that in this second match Arsenal has quality but Porto has experience, on the other hand this will also be two great matches, Pepe will teach Saliba and Gabriel a lesson. It's true as you said, if Porto doesn't make mistakes in this match, I think Porto will win the first leg of the last 16 of the UCL league.
