The Arsenal icon expressed his disappointment with the team’s performance in tonight’s match. Martinelli was effectively neutralized, and Saka’s lack of end product was evident. In a high-stakes competition like this, it is crucial to showcase your best abilities. The fact that Arsenal had zero shots on target is truly disappointing.

 

Arsenal’s offensive players disappointed in the match against Porto, resulting in a 1-0 loss in the Champions League last-16 tie. Porto’s Galeno scored the winning goal late in the game.

 

The match was characterized by few scoring opportunities and a stop-start rhythm. Galeno missed two clear chances in the first half, hitting the crossbar and firing wide from close range.

 

In a cautious match, both teams had limited opportunities in a game that was frequently interrupted.

 

Porto’s Galeno missed two clear chances in the first half, hitting the crossbar and shooting wide from close range.

 

However, the Brazilian emerged as the hero in the final moments by scoring a spectacular goal from outside the box in the 94th minute.
