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.
Arteta should focus his attention to the champions league. Arsenal need to win a champions league title. It is the most important title for them in my opinion. They have never won it. Winning the champions league will give Arsenal fans the bragging rights they need to get back at their rivals in the premier league.
Winning trophy is a bonus and arsenal must be going to the final first. It's too early in talking about the possibility of arsenal to win the trophy since this one being unfavored to win the trophy this season. City and real madrid are still holding the biggest chances to win the UCL trophy this season.
Arsenal needs to go to the semi final first before we can continue to talk how big arsenal's possibility to win UCL this season. Club needs able to perform even better compared to the last time when arsenal played in UCL. Arsenal was unable going to the current round last time and team is just showing another improvment happened to the club.
It's very good for arteta to put all of his focus into the UCL and EPL. Arsenal is leading the way to get EPL trophy but UCL seems still very far for the club to get it. It sounds too good to be true for arsenal to win UCL this season. Being able to play in the final will be good enough for the club.
Arsenal indeed have to hard struggling to eliminate Porto because seems Porto is not weak opponent for Arsenal even this team can successfully to pushing Arsenal to playing until 120 minutes before they can win through an penalty shoot out and i will looking forward to see how far Arsenal will go in this competition because in Premier League Arsenal probably can recognized as strong team especially in the last 2 season Arsenal always be joining with Manchester City for race title but i personally still considers Arsenal is not strong team in Champion League especially under Arteta Arsenal was never performing well at European Competitions
But at least Arsenal under Arteta had just make a history that finally after 14 years always be stuck at round of 16 finally Arsenal can advances again to the quarterfinal so this is impressive progress from Arsenal but indeed Arsenal is not a strong team in Champion league because just like i said above Arsenal have never won a trophy in this competition before and so far Arsenal highest achievement is when they can able to reach to final match on season 2005/2006 but unfortunately at that time Arsenal have to lost from Barcelona
