I myself did not expect that Arsenal could be defeated by Porto, even though I was very confident with Arteta because in the domestic league they were in a very good game, while Porto underestimated the team a lot because it was based on the popularity of a different league, but Porto could beat Arsenal well. Arsenal will have to beat Porto in the second leg by a bigger score.
Likewise, Barcelona were quite surprising to get a draw against Napoli, but it is true that if only Barcelona draw if they can beat Napoli at home then they will be very sure to qualify for the next round, the second leg is a very important bet.
It's football you have to expect the unexpected, not at all times though, but if you're hardworking and discipline as well precise while attacking, you'd take make good use of chances you get and convert them very well.
Yeah and they also score good numbers lately, ome would think they will do the same to Porto but you know what? Porto is a bigger club when it comes to the Champions League than Arsenal. Arsenal can roam about in the Premier League and Fa Cup but the Champions League Competition has always humbled them.
But then, it seems to be like Arsenal always gets back on to win Porto during the second leg of the games they play. Are we Gon see something like that again?
Nothing to be boggled about, Barcelona are not fine and not having a good season. So whatever you see, you have to take it that way.
Actually, I don't doubt Porto because this club often has experience in the Champions League, but Arsenal is also worthy of pride and for me, Porto can beat Arsenal because it's a home game, but in the 2nd leg, Arsenal will definitely respond with a win.
Here I will not compare and predict the performance of the two clubs in each domestic league because the matches in the Champions League are very different and all clubs in the Champions League give each other their maximum performance and experienced clubs will have the advantage.
I respect Porto and Arsenal but for me it looks like Arsenal will qualify but it won't be easy because Porto's performance is also very strong.
Yes I know this is soccer and it is also a big league as well as that Porto is not a small team in the domestic league and I really understand that the ball is round that anyone can get a victory on their own abilities, but even though Porto often participates in the champions league, but compared to that we know that Arsenal is more popular and wilder in the ears of football fans, and maybe we realize how much distance between Porto and Arsenal when compared to each other.
Although with my selfish thoughts it must be admitted that Porto deserves to be considered, their ability is very unpredictable, even with a victory with a goal difference of only one enough to secure the match, and the next match if Porto can hold a draw, Arsenal can be eliminated by Porto in the UCL this season.
