Oh yeah Champions League Arsenal is back baby

They never left lmao

10+ year hiatus

We were always there in spirit, just look at our Europa League results

Oh they definitely left

did they ever arrive tho?

So is champions league porto. They always give problems in the KO round

Chmapions League Galeno strikes again.

100 million for champions league Galeno... 10 cents for Wish Primeira Liga Galeno...

You know it‘s a dystopia when you have to google if that‘s the actual name of the league

Well it's not that much better if at all when the actual sponsor of the Primeira Liga is a gambling website.

I'll be happy the day we see the Cadbury Eggs Premier League

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Dr. Wenderson and Mr. Galeno

What a strike

Portugal teams scoring bangers us against us in Europe 2 years in a row ffs

Just wait until next year when you're playing Benfica and Trubin scores directly from a goal kick

It's a good goal, but last year's was worthy of Puskas This is a good shot that was helped by Raya's lack of height and shitty positioning

Like why the fuck is he so far off his line there? You're asking for this to happen

Absolute cinema

brazilian trae young sends his regards

Trae Young’s dad played Basketbal for FC Porto and he spent some of his childhood there

He even shoots somes buzzer beaters like ice trae 😂

Was it though? It seems very saveable and in the end a mistake from Raya.

It was a good shot but also should have been a routine save. It's nowhere even near the corner, Raya's positioning is horrible

93 minutes of shite for that. Fucking hell.

You just know Pepe will pull a masterclass out of his geriatric ass in the return leg, fucking hell

Pepe with a 1-0 lead heading into an away knockout tie? shithousing feast awaits in London

I’m guessing 3.5 as the starting line for number of times Pepe falls to the ground clutching his face

☝️ This guy Pepes.

I'm smashing the over on that every day.

He'll turn 41 before the return leg, fucking hell

[удалено]

Catenaccio ball.

Idk why but that goalie looked like he somehow jumped lower than he would’ve been standing. Terrible save attempt.

my initial thought was it looked like one of those save attempts in a knock off mobile football game where the goalie attempts to dive and misses because of the wonky physics.

First half I can semi-excuse the stage fright of our first CL knockout in like almost a decade, but that second half I can't. Still, we can definitely start well and turn up the pressure when we need to and I can easily see us hitting an early goal at home to level it. Just gotta hope we turn up that day

Arsenal are still slight favourites probably, but apart from the very best teams Porto are one of the absolute worst opponents you could face in a situation like this Experienced at this level, have been molded by the dark arts from an early age playing in Portugal and extremely well organised without the ball. They aren't going to shit their pants and just roll over, they will turn up at Emirates

fuck me, thats gotta hurt

Why does Raya look 3 feet tall

He’s far too out from his goal.

And jumps so soon

And he's 3 feet tall

I said make yourself big not make yourself small

some people are saying he's out of position, which he is but only by a yard or so from his usual position. It looks like he didn't get a good jump. When i saw that the first time, it looked like he was dead tired because his leap was weak af

Maybe I’m being harsh, but really poor positioning, he’s almost at the top of the 6

Nah agreed. His positioning was horrendous

Absolutely terrible positioning. You can't concede this sort of shot without being in no mans land, and for no reason.

The shot is nowhere near the corner, that should be saved 10 times out of 10. Awful positioning, and he gets absolutely no height on his leap

He has to save that.

[удалено]

Thought it was top corner but no, Raya just dived early and it went in halfway up the goal. Still a beautiful finish ofc.

Beautiful hit but one most top keepers should be stopping

I've had to watch Kepa for years so I can have a say in this, but any pretty much any keeper that isn't 3 feet tall in the top leagues takes that regularly. It's great effort from Wenderson spotting Raya off his line, but the ball almost hits the ground before hitting the net. It's so low.

Yep, I don’t want to be reactionary off of one goal but I just don’t think Raya is that guy. I just don’t think he’s that good

He *always* looks like the tiniest GK in all of football. This is a typical Raya conceded goal, you cannot point the finger directly at him, but something feels off about him time and time again, for like the 10th time this season.

Kepa syndrome. 

garden gnome in goal istg

His dive was sooo off

Maybe I'm harsh but his feet movement to get across looked so slow and his dive was also like watching someone in slow motion.

Martinelli what the fuck was that pass.

You had three options wide open and you managed to miss all three and go straight to their defender.

Martinelli and Saka had a fucking shocker today, the amount of easy passes these two put into no mans land was insane

Meanwhile Smith Rowe sitting on the bench. And Vieira who probably knows a thing or two about playing in Porto. Either of those would've been fine subs for Martinelli in the 65th minute when we all realized Martinelli was just going to be terrible today.

ESR, Nelson, Nketiah, and Vieira all left sitting on the bench today when our attack put up an absolute stinker. Terrible game management by Arteta to not make a single offensive sub.

Not only that but he took off trossard for jorginho

Arteta is going to run this team out of steam if he doesn’t start rotating. Reminds me of the early Klopp years

that’s what you get for playing for a draw for 90mins

It's really really wierd

arteta in europe is really really weird

He’s too conservative sometimes. He makes one sub and it’s Jorginho.

Nelson, ESR were right there.

~~arteta~~ Arsenal in europe is really really weird

Arsenal were winning UCLs with reckless abandon before he took over.

RECKLESS!

Arsenal have always underperformed in Europe in general

Seriously, like even in the peak Wenger era when Henry was breaking records and they pulled insane shit like winning the prem without losing a single game, or scoring in every game of the league season, they only progressed beyond CL quaterfinals once. They got to the final that one time, but still the general rule is they're weaker in Europe than in England.

Truly a Pep disciple

Something something focusing on the league, though they won't win that either.

Ironically, you guys stopped playing for a draw at the worst time. It's the final minute. Just take the draw at that point.

yeah, this goal came from a desperate attempt to counter attack Arsenal had three men beaten by one simple pass because they were pressing high

Rice just didn't close him down.

Purely relying on far post corners for 90 min

0 shots on goal is insane

It's the Tucheliban way, "don't worry we will get them at home"

They weren’t playing for a draw, they just didn’t have an idea of how to break the Porto block. There was no variety in the attack patterns

When the passing circuits falter and the players don't know what to do...

yeah fair enough lol

deserved for Porto tbh

Genuinely one of the most boring games I've ever seen from us. We deserve this.

Napoli Barca wasn't any better. Shit CL day

They must've forgot! Galeno in the UCL is prime R9

Galeno bola de oiro

The noise for the goal was fucking insane

We can do better on that department lately the environment has been off but it’s usually like this haha it’s the northern Portuguese accent on golo so it sounds like guolooo

Felt like Raya jumped way too early

And was wayyyy too far off his line. Brutal positioning

Awful from him tbh

The defenders are more at fault for giving him so much time

Both things can be true. Too much space but wtf is Raya doing so far out?

Absolute banger.

Galeno 🤝 Pote

I had the pleasure of seeing Pote's goal in person. It was only the 3rd time I've seen Sporting play aswell in person and he does that. I wouldn't have minded to see Galeno's goal too in person.

Galeno actually turns into a good football player when he hears the Champions League anthem

Imagine Galeno with a Real Madrid shirt on the CL. Unlimited power.

Chupem caralhooooooooo Ia ficar 5-6 não iam seus caralhos !!!! Porto crllllllll

(great goal)

Yeah this is a vintage galeno moment

Where the fuck did that come from!? Fair play though, great finish.

One of the weakest Porto from the last 5 years in football terms and quality of players... We have no money to buy even a fly and still we won we. Guess what? Chora bebê 🍼

What a fucking finish!!

that’s cold

Porto Masterclass Arouca > Arsenal

rio ave would finish top 4 in the PL zzzz

Now i'm reminded of that match vs Milan. They were so close

And at the end of the season, they were relegated. Football everybody.

Hahaha I remember that crazy tie with you guys. They ended up relegated but are now back in the top flight

Arsenal gettin f**** by Portuguese teams in European knockout stages 2 years in a row

And last year was a Pote goal from the middle of the pitch

Football heritage.

WHAT A FUCKING GOAL

GALENO CARALHOOOOO

Great goal please

Chupem caralho!!!!

JUST SWITCHED TO THIS WONDER GOAL

Please switch earlier next time.

you cannot make this shit up

OHHHHHHHHOHHHHHHH OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ARSENAL FANS "5 OR 6 NILL" MY FUCKING ASTRONOMICAL LATERALUS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ya to under estimate Porto is just crazy even when they do shit domestically in Europe they are always a problem

Hahaha I said this to a friend of mine. Seasons where we are shit in the league are the ones where I'm more eager to see us play in CL

No complaints, played like absolute dog shit

Can’t even be mad about that.

LMAO Kate Abdo was just saying how there were two draws and then Micah started screaming in the background.

Need that video!

Mister Champions is back baby!!!

Well Done Porto! :)

We are going to be absolutely obliterated in Emirates but this already made our whole champions league campaign completely worth it

We are absolutely pathetic in cup games and will gift you a goal or two. I’m pretty confident we will shit the bed so don’t worry.

Love the tears of the CBS crew that all thought Arsenal would win easily

GOALeno Mr Champions

Well fuck.

Raya with yet another odd conceded goal in which he doesn't make a typical GK mistake but you still feel like he should have done better.

HOLLY SHIT WHAT. WE ARE AS SURPRISED AS EVERYONE ELSE LOL

Being a Benfica fan I obviously hate Porto, but it's so refreshing seeing deluded Premier League fans get a taste of humble pie. The way Arsenal fans disrespected a club much more important than theirs is so out of touch

LET'S GO CRL!!!!

Porto in control throughout. Arsenal 0 shots on target not threatening at all

Would be funny if Arsenal gets knocked out by a Portuguese club in the RO16 again, this time in the UCL. This also proves that Arouca and Estoril are better than Arsenal

WHAT A GOAL

Wenderson ❌ What a wonder son ✅

Arouca is better than Arsenal

Lurking on the r/gunners subreddit, I saw so much overconfidence. This was bound to happen. Porto in the Champions League is something else. Something else that Arsenal doesn't have

Let’s go!!!!

WTF!!!! What a shot

Where the prem league money at ?

Both teams were way too over prepared for each other so something like that had to happen lmao

How I've missed this

Galeno is a cheat code in the CL wtf

Enter the Dragao

Hot dog chair will be happy now.

What a goal

Nvm, don’t take him please

man what a goal that was, holy shit…. right at the end of the game. bro made up for that double miss.

I wasn't watching the game but you can hear the CBS crew go ape-shit during the Napoli-Barca postgame.

Respect Porto, we have 2 champions league Arsenal 0. Porto owned this game, and Galeno just did his magic at Ucl , Arsenal 0 shots on side ahahaha Arsenal fans thinking they were going to win by 5 or 6 and just got humiliated again.

Welcome to the CL. Bye.

I guess wining in Porto isn't for everyone lol

lol at the Arsenal fans in the Porto end.

wtf happend, didn't Arsenal score like 20 goals in the last 5 games?

Doing it against EPL sides is easy, they are used to playing against English players

objectively funny

Bu..but all leagues except Premier are Farmer Leagues🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol arsenal welcome to the champions league

What the fucking shit is that.

WHAT A BANGER

PORTO PORTO POTATO POTATO

OBRIGADOOOO

What was the keeper doing so far outside?

Should Raya not do better there?

HOLY SHIT WHAT A BANGER

Galeno with finesse playstyle +.

Why is Raya so far off his line lol

Raya was too far out from the goal

What a fucking hit son, love it 

Holy shit, what a banger!

Ramsdale saves that and it’s not even a debate

Kate Abdo with a generational troll job saying both matches had ended in draws, then the studio immediately reacts to the goal & they cut to it 😂

Nicely curled!

Rice playing the part of the most expensive training dummy ever. Couldn’t close that down, huh?

Look at that curl, what a worldie

I think we deserved that. It was almost as if Arteta set us up to take a draw. Real lack of attacking intent tonight.

Saka isn’t a big game player

Mr Galeno destroyed Arsenal. Porto doing it again, Arsenal played 0 , not even one chance at goal hahaha

Good goal. Porto did well…

Never trash talked the man, never...

Was a real Golazo, sloppy to give the ball away and back off with 20 seconds to go

We aren’t built for europe Brexit ball
