Arsenal secured their spot in the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time since 2010 with a dramatic penalty shootout win against Porto.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Arsenal levelled the tie when Leandro Trossard found the net four minutes before halftime, courtesy of a slick finish orchestrated by captain Martin Odegaard.
Despite a gritty and contentious affair, neither side managed to find a breakthrough in regulation or extra time, leading to a nail-biting penalty shootout.
Arsenal’s nerves held firm as Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Declan Rice all converted from the spot, while goalkeeper David Raya made crucial saves from Wendell and Galeno.
The victory sparked scenes of jubilation among Mikel Arteta’s squad, marking a significant milestone in their Champions League campaign.
