It's really shame Arsenal lose against Porto, Porto is not consistent in the domestic league, even though Arsenal is also inconsistent in the domestic league. But there's a big difference between Premier League and Primeira Liga, a top 10 Premier League can beat the champion in Primeira Liga.

It's not funny if Arteta sacrificing Champions League for Premier League.

This is a matter of mental play because in my opinion Porto never stopped being enthusiastic about breaking through the Arsenal defense and in the final minute an extraordinary goal from outside the penalty box. With this advantage, Arteta must provide something different in Leg 2 because that is the only chance if he wants to continue at UCL. Porto success cannot be separated from the coach's tactics of trying to break Arsenal back line, tactically the two are balanced and that should not have happened to Arsenal, who were the favorites from the start.

Porto vs Arsenal 1-0. Arsenal as a whole dominated the game but Porto's very strong defense made it difficult for Arsenal to score goals.
And Porto's 1 goal in the remaining extra time scored by Galeno in the 90+4 minute was a painful goal for Arsenal.

Napoli vs Barcelona 1-1 and Barcelona's goal was scored by Lewandowski in the 60th minute, and Napoli's goal was scored by Osimhen in the 75th minute.

Victor Osimhen is truly a great champion, you can see it from this.
He manages to drag a team that isn't moving by the hair.
If he's well he's a team of his own.
I don't think that under these conditions he will remain in Napoli, he deserves to win titles and increase the prestige of his career.

Indeed that is Osimhen only position at Napoli because he is aware of his comfort zone, but does not dare to challenge himself to go out and explore other European leagues. Napoli depend on Osimhen contribution so that at all costs they will continue to maintain their goal machine. It is a shame that Barcelona was unable to take advantage of the situation of the Napoli team which was in disarray due to the process of changing coaches. With this 1-1 result, at Barcelona Headquarters Leg 2 will be a gamble for Xavi troops to gain the upper hand.
