UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Ahli38]

What I saw from the Porto vs Arsenal match was that Arsenal did not find the gaps that Porto had in the back line. Arsenal looked so confused in finding a way to penetrate Porto's defense. Arsenal were indeed able to control more of the ball in that match and Arsenal's pass accuracy ratio was also much better. But all of that is useless if Arsenal has difficulty approaching the Porto defense area.

And several mistakes made by Arsenal's midfield and back line always almost endangered their own goal. I think that mentally the Arsenal players are not really ready for the pressure of the Champions League. Because Arsenal when playing in the Premier League always looks confident. But in this match you must have noticed that the Arsenal players looked less confident. Even their midfield usually doesn't make mistakes. but in that match they did it several times. I hope their confidence returns in the second leg. Because if Arsenal could be more confident then the quality of Arsenal and Porto's game would actually be much different and Arsenal could actually be much better.

Yeah, I admit that Arsenal played badly in this match they seemed to be in a deadlock and in fact there was no shot on target, I don't know why Arsenal looked different in this match or maybe they just want to draw and in the second leg Arsenal will beat their opponent. Based on the schedule we can see that most of the second leg matches will be won by the home team because in the first leg they only drew and were 1 goal behind meaning the home teams will be motivated to win, only Manchester City is in a safe place because in the first leg Manchester City won 3-1 and in the second leg Man City as the home team, it was clear there was no way for Copenhagen to win.

Arsenal's performance did not match our expectations. After they became so productive in the EPL, it turned out that this could not be a reference to judge their performance in the UCL. Well that's a little disappointing. But we must understand because Arsenal have not qualified for the UCL competition for a long time. And as far as I remember Arsenal managed to get a ticket to the UCL was 6 years ago or in 2016/2017. So in terms of experience I think Arsenal are like beginners again in the UCL. While Porto they almost every season always get tickets to the Champion League. So in terms of experience Porto is far superior.

So sometimes a team that is good in the domestic league but has not had much experience in the last few seasons in the UCL cannot be expected too high. I forgot about it because I already believed too much in Arsenal's performance in the EPL. Which made me think that it would be the same in the UCL. But it was not as expected.

[Queentoshi]

You are right, Arsenal does not underestimate Porto and defeats like this are normal because of the tension of the match and the ambition of the players to win. We can look at Arteta's line-up to disprove that assumption, so I don't expect people to say Arsenal underestimated their opponents in their second Champions League defeat of the season.

Arsenal remains a very good team this season, and this one defeat because it is not normal with them, they are receiving a lot of criticism for it. It was a tough game and Arsenal played well, their only problem being that they could not get any shot against Porto. It is good for Arsenal that the first leg that they have lost is not a home game, because then it would have been cumbersome for them to go to Poto for the second leg and then try to win. If there is a better stage to display the fighting spirit of the Arsenal team, the Emirate stadium is the ground for it.

Napoli had better spirit in the second half and were able to change the rhythm of the game to be more attacking and equalize.

If Napoli could not win the Champions league last season when they were very good, I doubt that they will do any better this season where they are not consistent.

[Roseline492]

If Napoli could not win the Champions league last season when they were very good, I doubt that they will do any better this season where they are not consistent.

Actually Napoli performance is not good enough to be measured with other good teams like real Madrid and Manchester City because we all no how poor in performance Napoli has been on this season especially the Italian serie A were they have played six matches and win only one match, so actually if they can play so poor that they ended up on the tenth position of the Italian serie A table is it the champions League that has so many quality clubs that are well known by there good performance they would survive, actually there are more qualified team that's actually the right candidate for the champions League trophy but Napoli is not included.

[Dzigie]

Last year, Arsenal were eliminated by the Portuguese team. If we see the same thing this year, I'm sure Arsenal won't want to play against Portuguese teams. The rematch will be in England. Arsenal will definitely win this match, but what I wonder is what kind of game approach Porto will be on the field that day. If Porto plays defensively, Arsenal can make more mistakes and it would be a miracle if they concede another goal and get through the round.

Portuguese teams and Porto are always good, but we have to give a special mention to Porto fans. Did you see the Porto fans after Porto's goal yesterday? They were really great.
In the second match, I also see Arsenal as the favorite. In the first match, both teams preferred a controlled game. Porto won the first match with an extraordinary goal in the last minute. The second match will be played at Arsenal's ground. I am sure we will see different scenarios there and Porto's biggest handicap there will be the fan support.

[lalabotax]

LIVE NOW!
Porto   vs  Arsenal     : 0 - 0 (minute 36)
Napoli  vs  Barcelona : 0 - 0 (minute 35)

Until half-time, both of them are still not able to score any goals. It is quite silly for Arsenal that still cannot give hard attacks to Porto.
Arsenal seems quite difficult to attack Porto. For some reason, this time, Porto was quite strong in their back line, so it wasn't easy for Arsenal to attack. hmmm, will this be a draw match if it continues like this?

So does what happened to Barcelona. I  also  think that Barcelona should win this match. Napoli strategy was still quite confusing and they are now not at a good condition after getting again new coach for them. On the other hand, Xavi should be able to take advantage of this moment to put more pressure on Napoli. And the thing is, Barcelona has it, yes they have those chances. but unfortunately it's still not optimal.

It would be surprising if these two matches ended in a goalless draw. Arsenal dominated the game but unfortunately they haven't had any shots on goal. Porto defense is very good, so it is very difficult for Arteta fleet to penetrate it. Arsenal must be able to create more creativity, so that it can be converted into goals. Arteta hasn't rotated players yet, I think Arteta will.

It turns out the results are even more shocking. Arsenal lost to Porto. What's this for? I really think that Arsenal can handle Porto. but it turns out to be alternate. How could Arsenal be so careless that they were unable to attack Porto at all. Arsenal themselves must have been very shocked because the match was almost over and they conceded a goal in the last minute. But indeed, in this match, Arsenal really couldn't attack Porto, they didn't even have a kick or attack that was shot on target.

This is terrible, really. how can they compete with other top clubs like this? Hmm, in the second leg, they might still have a chance, but it's still quite worrying. They have to do something that makes their comeback epic.

[Abu-Naim]

Portuguese teams and Porto are always good, but we have to give a special mention to Porto fans. Did you see the Porto fans after Porto's goal yesterday? They were really great.
In the second match, I also see Arsenal as the favorite. In the first match, both teams preferred a controlled game. Porto won the first match with an extraordinary goal in the last minute. The second match will be played at Arsenal's ground. I am sure we will see different scenarios there and Porto's biggest handicap there will be the fan support.

The first leg of the match speaks a lot about record. Porto showed Arsenal that they have Champions League experience and they maintained their home victory against Arsenal since they defeated Arsenal three times at their home.
Arsenal have the second leg to make things work for them if they really want to be among the title favorites people are saying they are.
Arsenal played well but couldn’t make any attempts on goal, I hope they will score goals in the second leg at Emirate Stadium.

[Adams0001]

If Napoli could not win the Champions league last season when they were very good, I doubt that they will do any better this season where they are not consistent.

Actually Napoli performance is not good enough to be measured with other good teams like real Madrid and Manchester City because we all no how poor in performance Napoli has been on this season especially the Italian serie A were they have played six matches and win only one match, so actually if they can play so poor that they ended up on the tenth position of the Italian serie A table is it the champions League that has so many quality clubs that are well known by there good performance they would survive, actually there are more qualified team that's actually the right candidate for the champions League trophy but Napoli is not included.

Napoli's performance last season and this season are not the same, and they were in good shape last season and won their league table, but now they can't even win any trophies this season with the way they're playing in the league and champions league. If not, Osimhen will get opportunities and draw the game, Barcelona will have a one-goal lead in the first leg, and Xavi will do anything to beat Napoli in camp after failing to defeat them.

Anyone who gets lucky and qualifies for the quarterfinals will still be knocked out since they can't fight Manchester City, Madrid, and Inter Milan. Inter Milan's performance last season and qualification to the final can't be repeated because they have many opportunities to score Manchester City  and get the trophy but they fail to do so and i don't think they survive to the final this round again.

[kawetsriyanto]

Porto is a good team and apart from that they have solid players and a good defense so they can make it difficult for the opposing team to score goals.
In that match, Arsenal dominated the game overall but were unable to score a goal because Porto's defense was very good. And what Porto scored was a very painful goal, because the goal occurred in the remaining minutes of extra time which was about to end.
And for the Napoli vs Barcelona match, in my opinion both teams are equally strong and played very carefully, so in my opinion they deserved a draw and statistically the two teams only have a small difference.

Indeed, Porto isn't a weak team, they ever won UCL under Mourinho's management in 2003/2004. But they are not really strong this season, they are only in 3rd place now. In their domestic league, Benfica and and Sporting are stronger than Porto. So, it is actually very unfortunate that Arsenal was defeated by Porto. How can Arsenal as one of the top team in EPL, they can't make a single shot on target on the match against Porto? I think Porto defenders aren't so strong, the problem is in the attackers of Arsenal. There is something wrong with the attackers of Arsenal, they were playing underperformance. I think Arteta needs to change the tactics for the second Leg.

For the match Napoli vs Barcelona match, it is clear that Barcelona is a stronger team. However, Napoli can steal a single goal on the match. I think it is because of the good quality of Napoli attackers, specifically Osimhen.

[aylabadia05]

If it's like this, Napoli can be categorized as a weak team. I don't think the same as you in seeing the ongoing game between the two. For 20 minutes, Napoli in this match did not

Napoli is a weak team. They didn't play particularly well yesterday. They were that good only because Barcelona too is not a strong team. If Napoli had played like that against an in-form Man City or Inter Milan, they would have lost.
As bad as Barcelona was, they were the better team. They deserved a win more than Napoli yesterday. Barcelona's problem was winning the ball back. Whenever they lose the ball, they find it very difficult to win the ball back and that allows the other team to press them.
Napoli's game yesterday came due to poor defending by Inigo Martinez.

This means that Napoli and Barcelona are the same. Not a good team and not a bad team because Napoli and Barcelona are not in good condition.
As a result, Napoli were able to equalize the score at 1-1 after Barcelona took the lead through Lewandowski's goal.

I watched this match so I don't understand what you want to say about the bad and good games of both teams.
If you say Barcelona conceded because of poor defense, then Napoli is the same. There is no point in explaining where Napoli and Barcelona are good and bad.
A team is said to be good in a match when no mistakes are made.

[KTChampions]

Portuguese teams and Porto are always good, but we have to give a special mention to Porto fans. Did you see the Porto fans after Porto's goal yesterday? They were really great.
In the second match, I also see Arsenal as the favorite. In the first match, both teams preferred a controlled game. Porto won the first match with an extraordinary goal in the last minute. The second match will be played at Arsenal's ground. I am sure we will see different scenarios there and Porto's biggest handicap there will be the fan support.

I get the impression that Arsenal basically don’t give a damn how the away game will go if they have a decisive home game in hand. Even in the group stage, they lost to Lens away (when it still mattered - it was only the second round). Probably a lot of bettors were burned out yesterday because of this result, but now it seems to me that a good opportunity is opening up: a bet with a handicap of -1 (or even -2, but this is a big risk) on Arsenal to win the return leg. With all due respect to Porto, I don’t believe that they will be able to hold such a second match with maximum luck.

[GbitG]

I would have understood if Arsenal played much better but just got unlucky, that happens in football, just recently City had 25+ shots and scored only once, that type of unlucky situation could have happened and I would totally understand that.

But Arsenal didn't even play all that well, it didn't become all that obvious for that and that's the trouble for me, why didn't they played that well and I think that should be the most important part of it we should consider the situation to be a little bit different in this case. I understand why people would have trouble with it, but that doesn't mean that we should be considering Arsenal as unlucky, they just straight up played terrible and that's their problem, they should fix something next time.

Hmm, yeah, aside from that, Arsenal have bat luck tonight. In the last dying movement, Porto's player Galeno scored and gave the victory to his team i.e., Porto. Yes man, this is just a rumor, but Arsenal also did not perform well, They also did not perform well due to lack of confidence, like away ground pressure. How many times did the players miss understanding in attacking, although Arsenal was performing better in terms of gameplay. But anyway, let's see what happens next. 
 
On the other hand, Barcelona vs. Napoli play a beautiful game. The match has ended 1-1. In the first half, Barcelona are just dominating the game with a pretty good performance, despite Napoli showing up lacking in the whole minute until the first half. But in the second half, when Lawandoski put it into the net, Victor Osimen also scored a goal, but unfortunately, Victor Osimen committed a foul on a defender and scored the equalizer goal, although Barcelona had a good chance to win the game.
 
But anyway, let's see what happens next in the remaining leg. Like there is the second leg.

[JariKriting]

Agree, not a big problem for Arsenal, but they have to remain alert to their current condition, when it becomes a full defensive match for Porto, it will be hell for Arsenal. I previously forgot to mention that apart from Otavio, they also have Pepe there, so Arsenal must really solve Porto's solid defensive problem. Remember that Porto only needs a draw here to advance to the next round.

Pepe is old his physical endurance must not be as good as when he was young. against a young Arsenal team playing at home and spartan pepe will definitely drain physical and energy so performance for 90 minutes will definitely not be stable. as long as Arsenal does not concede a goal first or the players do not quickly despair, they can definitely advance to the next round.

This is not just bad luck, but Arsenal's game could be said to be quite bad this time. Honestly, this is a failure for Arsenal. Even though this was only the first leg, their performance was considered quite unsuccessful. They couldn't even attack the opponent's crucial line well, even if they weren't able to touch Porto's crucial line with the abilities they usually have. This is quite surprising. Porto doesn't have a lot of ball possession, but their ability to counter attack in this match is quite good, making Arsenal quite overwhelmed at the moment. And in the 90+4 minute, when it felt like the match was about to end, Porto was able to score a goal that brought them victory. Did you see the expressions of the Arsenal players? they really didn't believe it and looked very frustrated.

I forgot about it because I already believed too much in Arsenal's performance in the EPL. Which made me think that it would be the same in the UCL. But it was not as expected.

Yeah, so do we as Gunners supporters. that Arsenal's performance was far from our expectations, even Arteta felt that his players did not carry out enough aggression against Porto's defense. Arteta said he felt this defeat was a form of punishment, for not managing the situation well enough. Based on statistics, Arsenal actually controlled the game with 65% ball possession. Likewise, technically, Arsenal is superior to the home team. unfortunately, as Arteta said, his team's squad was not enough to carry out enough aggression in Porto's defense. and we can see it based on statistics, of the 7 total shots, not a single shot was on target.

In last night's match, Martinelli underperformed. Likewise with Jakub Kiwior, he seems to have difficulty playing well in the match against Porto. of the entire team, only Declan Rice and Saka played optimally. the rest, the players don't play as they should. Regardless of what you say, it should not be a definite benchmark for Arsenal's performance in this match. except, if the Gunners' opponent is a team that is much stronger than them. so, the team's experience and mentality will be seriously tested.

I can only say, in this match Arsenal were not unable to play well. unfortunately, the absence of Zinchenko, Tomiyasu and Gabriel Jesus really affected Arsenal's game. At the very least, Zinchenko is a modern defender who often helps penetrate his opponent's defense when building attacks, as does Tomiyasu. unfortunately, the goal was scored in the 90+4 minute. well, in the second leg, Arsenal must turn things around and win the match with a landslide score.

[Dzwaafu11]

Before the match started Arsenal were the favorites to win the match, it was surprising when in the end Arteta fleet had to bow to Porto. Of course there is something wrong with Arsenal if they compare their victory against Burnley, but Porto is different from Burnley and doesn't want to concede 5 goals. Another very bad thing is the statistics recorded, where Arsenal did not have a single shot on target, in that case I think Arsenal is really bad.

Arsenal is not bad. The only thing is that our expectations are too high in these games. Although I know that this is a really bad result for Arsenal as a team like Porto defeated them, Arsenal did not even find it easy to play the game they suffered from Porto in that match with these I think Arsenal really needs to check their squad again because if a team like this is going to win Arsenal, what will happen if they have a match with another strong team? I think they are going to suffer in their hands.

I get the impression that Arsenal basically don’t give a damn how the away game will go if they have a decisive home game in hand. Even in the group stage, they lost to Lens away (when it still mattered - it was only the second round). Probably a lot of bettors were burned out yesterday because of this result, but now it seems to me that a good opportunity is opening up: a bet with a handicap of -1 (or even -2, but this is a big risk) on Arsenal to win the return leg. With all due respect to Porto, I don’t believe that they will be able to hold such a second match with maximum luck.

To me, it is disappointing to see Arsenal lose to Porto. It doesn't matter home or way the match, you are the one seeing these as a small deal, but to me, it is disappointment, and that Porto are too small for Arsenal to defeat even though I know its a football. Furthermore, Porto are weak, and Arsenal are strong, so you are saying that they will meet in the second leg, I don't see that as a reason for them to allow Porto to win them. I was expecting them to do the same thing they are consistently doing in the EPL, so I see these as a disappointment.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Agree, not a big problem for Arsenal, but they have to remain alert to their current condition, when it becomes a full defensive match for Porto, it will be hell for Arsenal. I previously forgot to mention that apart from Otavio, they also have Pepe there, so Arsenal must really solve Porto's solid defensive problem. Remember that Porto only needs a draw here to advance to the next round.

Pepe is old his physical endurance must not be as good as when he was young. against a young Arsenal team playing at home and spartan pepe will definitely drain physical and energy so performance for 90 minutes will definitely not be stable. as long as Arsenal does not concede a goal first or the players do not quickly despair, they can definitely advance to the next round.

What happened is that Pepe is a very strong player , very experienced and knows many ways to stop very skilled players and that can make the difference. In this order of ideas things can come into focus that he is a player who does not break the bank. age, he is a player who said that as long as CR7 continues playing he will always play , because in some way he feels that he protects him as a defense, and in this case a man with his temperament would not dare to contradict him. , that's like the saying goes: "Old dog, bark when lying down" so the experience he has, when he stopped MESSI when he didn't care what he was getting into , he is a player who basically isn't afraid of anyone, and that is very valuable in a soccer team.

So I would say that one of the players who gives the team a lot of temperance and, above all, security in defense is him I see Pepe in defense and Ibrahimovic in the forward , that's how I see these players, because they are very Temperamental and that Partly I like it because some players are afraid to face them.

They are players who have a lot of Experience, experience and a good career and they do not give importance to their age, we just have to look at Buffon who lasted until he was 43 years old in goal playing for JUVE, and he did it in a great way, at a CR7 at 39 years old and equal to Haaland, then these types of players are valuable in a team, they give them what they need to look strong, for me Poerto has a very good chance of eliminating Arsenal from the UCL.

Pepe explains how Porto can knock Arsenal out of the Champions League

Porto captain Pepe has told his teammates they must be ‘perfect’ in the second leg to knock Arsenal out of the Champions League.

The veteran defender, who turns 41 on Monday, rolled back the years to punish Arsenal on Wednesday as his side pulled off a shock 1-0 first-leg win.

That has put Arsenal in danger of crashing out in the last 16 unless they can turn it around when the sides meet again at the Emirates on March 12.

Former Real Madrid star Pepe is hoping his side can repeat what fellow Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon did last season and knock Arsenal out of Europe.

I was expecting them to do the same thing they are consistently doing in the EPL, so I see these as a disappointment.

I think many people didn’t check the H2H of this two teams before the game, this two clubs against each have always have the home team wining except on rare occasions, and this time history repeat itself. In as much as Arsenal dominated the game many disrespected Porto coming into this game as underdogs although on paper there are the underdogs but to be sincere in champions league matches or stands they have a better reputation than Arsenal and this weather we like it count as experience for them. The whole of Arsenal squad bar Jorginho and Harvetz who won it with Chelsea haven’t gone this far in this competition before compared to Porto team.

We hype English clubs sometimes way much because the league is the most difficult but that’s doesn’t translate into a competitive knockout game like Champions league. So I wasn’t really surprised seeing Arsenal losing this match because there lack of experience will definitely contribute to their failure at this later stages now but I predict they will win at home with a heavy score

[mammusu]

This is not just bad luck, but Arsenal's game could be said to be quite bad this time. Honestly, this is a failure for Arsenal. Even though this was only the first leg, their performance was considered quite unsuccessful. They couldn't even attack the opponent's crucial line well, even if they weren't able to touch Porto's crucial line with the abilities they usually have. This is quite surprising. Porto doesn't have a lot of ball possession, but their ability to counter attack in this match is quite good, making Arsenal quite overwhelmed at the moment. And in the 90+4 minute, when it felt like the match was about to end, Porto was able to score a goal that brought them victory. Did you see the expressions of the Arsenal players? they really didn't believe it and looked very frustrated.

Arsenal performance was successfully stopped by Porto in the first leg because in this match Porto managed to make their defense as good as possible which made Arsenal frustrated because they were unable to get a single kick on target in this match. It seems quite appropriate that this match was the worst performance made by Arsenal because in the previous match in the domestic league they appeared quite strong and managed to beat their opponents. But when playing in the champions league they became helpless because of Porto.
 
Indeed, there is still a chance for Arsenal in the second leg because they are playing at home, which they can focus on looking for a win. Arteta must be able to bring about changes to the game scheme in the second leg because they really need a win to advance to the next round. For Pepe, he is very old but in the first leg he managed to show his qualities as a strong wall to prevent Arsenal from attacking them.

[coinlocket$]

According to statistics.

Manchester city atm has a 30% to reach the final, 20% for Real Madrid and 15% for Inter.

About Pepe, he is doing greatly for the age he has.

[Asiska02]

If it's like this, Napoli can be categorized as a weak team. I don't think the same as you in seeing the ongoing game between the two. For 20 minutes, Napoli in this match did not

Napoli is a weak team. They didn't play particularly well yesterday. They were that good only because Barcelona too is not a strong team. If Napoli had played like that against an in-form Man City or Inter Milan, they would have lost.
As bad as Barcelona was, they were the better team. They deserved a win more than Napoli yesterday. Barcelona's problem was winning the ball back. Whenever they lose the ball, they find it very difficult to win the ball back and that allows the other team to press them.
Napoli's game yesterday came due to poor defending by Inigo Martinez.

Whether Napoli is seen as a weak team or has the bigger team in that match yesterday, what matters the most is that the host were able to get a equalizer to level the games which is the least good record they can get in their home instead of losing all three points to their opponent. I don’t see Barcelona as a bad team either and saw their good performance also in the match. They weren’t lucky to win the match but they can show more of what they can do in the second leg when they come visiting to Spain.

I don't think Arsenal really underestimated the Porto side and we know how strong they (Porto) have been since the beginning of this very campaign and I think they're trying in their league. Arteta's boys did pretty bad last night and it might affect their play this weekend when they go head to head against Newcastle, I mean how can you go all through the game without a single shot on target, that's not the Arsenal team we saw beat Burnley last week.
Porto could choose to be stubborn at the Emirates with much defending and it can even end 1-1 in that encounter with Arsenal being kicked out of the competition and I can't really say the Gunners have what it takes to move to the next round as it is coupled with the fact that this is the first time Arteta is handling a team in the round of 16 of the champions league, so I'd say it would be a 50/50 thing if the Gunners scale through.

You have a point here about Arsenal’s qualification to the quarterfinals of the Champions League after this stage they are now. This competition really needs an experienced coach that is used to the game pattern of Champions League teams and how they can understand to make use of the best strategy to beat any team they will be facing. I also actually underrated Porto and really anticipated that Arsenal will win the match even though it is not with too much margin of goals. FC Porto shocked us and sent a message to us again that they’re good at the competition more then we are, saying that getting good points and wins at domestic league games doesn’t assure you the same in the champions league too.
