They're pretty tired, I think. Kvara has been playing non-stop for weeks because Napoli has no alternative on the bench. Osimhen missed one match for fitness issues after the African Cup.
Champions League - Round of 16 - 2nd Legs 5/6/12/13 March

How does Jorginho escape a yellow there?
I am yet to see Saka have a convincing 90 minutes in a high stakes game
That’s a blatant yellow for Jorginho ffs
Look far back the supporters sit behind the goal.....feck that.
They're offering firm resistance, unfortunately.

Lindstrøm is shit.
You can tell Turpin is going to ruin this contest by sending someone off after letting so much go before.
Napoli was the wrong move. Was excellent in Frankfurt
Diogo costa’s distribution is shit. Once again and as usual Caf knows nothing.
Jesus missing a big chance, no way!!
Napoli with another defensive blunder. Barca have been so bad but a shite opponent and bent ref will get them far.
This is not a game where you can draw a conclusion on his distribution...
I have a slightly irrational hate for Ødegaard. Just find him incredibly annoying.
Ok, didn't watch him there. What is his best attribute/skill? (Genuine question)
Did anybody clock that George Costanza looking fella when Porto were making subs? 
Odegaard’s gesturing the crowd like a rockstar at a concert. Cringeworthy moron.
This would be classic Arsenal to go out to this Porto side. Surely not.
He is very explosive on the first few yards and great at picking a pass.
He is quite good as a AM or even a SS but awful on the wing.
Nothing. He’s as bang average at his best. He’s usually dogshit.
Porto playing for penalties but I doubt they’ll get that far. And even if they did, I think Arsenal would win those.
Anyone else want to see a Barca-Arsenal draw next round? Been awhile since we had those.
No idea. Pointless player
He’s none of that.
Thanks!
Can someone remind me when was the last time that Arsenal got beyond the round of 16 in the Champions League? It seems like ages since they made it beyond that specific hurdle.
Not just this game. The few times I have watched him he never stood out as a fantastic ball playing keeper Caf made him out to be.
Saka has been woeful tonight.
Yes he is. I have watched him far more than you.
He is not fast on longer distance but can be very good on tight spots.
Him going to Napoli was always a stupid idea though since he isn't as good as Kvara and doesn't suit their style at all. He was very good at Frankfurt and one of the main reasons for their success that season.
Arsenal are lacking experience but this tie will have been useful in that regard, whatever the outcome is.
Would be interesting to see how they mentally deal with a big tie like Madrid/Bayern etc. if they go through. The talent is there, but other than Havertz and Jesus, I don't think any of their players have been part of a deep CL run before.

Arsenal players falling over again
If he can't hack it in Serie a then what is the right move....dutch league, MLS...korea?
09/10 when they went out in the Quarter Final
Thanks. Now THAT is quite some drought.
Same old arsenal trying to walk it in
The Bundesliga was his level. And the style of Napoli doesn't suit him at all. Weird how people don't get that different styles suit different players.
If Varela is coming off like this, it’s game over for Porto.
Has been a real struggle for Arsenal against a Porto side that Man City would likely have beaten by the 1st leg. Liverpool regularly had easy matches against Porto.
He's constantly up to that like some sort of anaemic Norwegian Hulk Hogan.
Napoli could have had 6 tonight with decent finishing but Barcelona could have got another 4 on top of the 3 they did score. Could have been a very high scoring game but for poor finishing. Neither side were good at making it hard for their opponents to attack overall although Barcelona had a good 45 minutes making Napoli work hard for chances. The 2nd half was completely open for both sides and the scoreline could have been anything
I thought he was faking, but he was legit injured.
