Haha, loved the final whistle. Such a stupid move to not go for the long ball.

When was the last time we got penalties in the CL? Seems ages ago.

Porto's team have a lot of inexperience too. Their other center back Octávio 2 seasons ago was playing on the reserves league. Only 21 yo, good catch by porto.

Squeaky bum time. Still would back Arsenal will get through. Some good takers like Saka, Rice, Odegaard.

My first time watching Pau Cubarsi tonight, that kid is unbelievable. 17yo and playing centre half in champions league knock out game, spraying passes around the place and defending really well.

I think Costa has a pretty decent record on pens.

Do we need Arsenal to win here for the coefficient to get 5 CL spots?

Strange performance from Arsenal considering they're meant to be the best England have to offer so far this season. Barely any chances tonight.

City would have dispatched Porto fairly comfortably you'd think.

Arteta seems so unhinged it’s like he could punch one of his players if they miss

Looking at the keepers penalties record. Costa's penalty save rate is 27%. Raya is at 11%.

Hopefully the stats come to fruition tonight.

Fancy Porto in the pens, they would have gone into this game half expecting that it would end in pens. I'd imagine Arsenal thought they'd finish the job by now.

He has a pretty awesome name, too. Sounds like a mysterious character with martial arts skills in some kind of sci-fi/western epic.

That would make De Gea blush. :lol:

Probably saves 5 now, though.

And everyone so confident about Arsenal beating City in the business end of the PL season. Welcome back to reality.

Be funny if Arse go out, but I want them to go through. extra games, injuries, heads elsewhere etc. Be good if they draw City along the way too, let them both deal with the media circus that comes with it.

Arsenal first to shoot.. Usually first team to take penalties tend to win.
They also have better and more skillfull players than Porto so yeah I think they'll manage to qualify pretty easily
