Congratulations Arsenal you got away with an uphill battle. I think in some league games you are very good and that will continue into the UCL. But I was wrong, Porto is quite strong. Porto made Arsenal difficult. They worked hard and made it to the penalty. In the penalty I was quite amazed by Raya's performance. He managed to thwart 2 penalties. Of course this will be history, because they managed to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Yes, Arsenal had to fight hard to get a place in the quarter-finals, but I think they deserved to win it. Arteta managed to take his team to the quarter-finals and he became the other Spanish manager to reach that stage. Previously, Pep Guardiola, Xavi and Luis Enrique had reached the quarter-finals and we hope that the competition between these managers will be presented in the quarter-finals.
The quarter-finals this season are really difficult because we know there are 8 big teams that have qualified for this round. Barcelona, Dortmund, PSG, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City are the favorites, but I really hope Real Madrid can reach the final this season than the others.
