Match Stats

As Benfica and Braga head to the Europa League after finishing third in the Champions League group stage, Porto stands alone as the remaining Portuguese team in Europe's premier competition. Making their sixth appearance in the last seven seasons in the elimination rounds, Porto secured second place in Group H behind Barcelona with four wins against Royal Antwerp and Shakhtar Donetsk. Despite having a better goal difference than the La Liga champions, Porto settled for the runners-up spot due to an inferior head-to-head record. With 12 points in the group stage, the Primeira Liga giants have another opportunity to correct past shortcomings in the Champions League, aiming to advance beyond the quarter-finals, a feat they haven't achieved since the 1993-94 tournament. Their 2022-23 campaign ended at this stage with a 1-0 aggregate loss to Inter Milan.


Porto's defense, solid throughout their 10-match unbeaten streak at home, faced a formidable Arsenal attack that scored five goals in just 90 minutes during a rainy Premier League match against Burnley. Arsenal, coming off a 6-0 win against West Ham the previous week, made history at Turf Moor by winning their first five league games of the calendar year for the first time in their 138-year history. Since their return from a successful Dubai training camp, Arsenal has scored an impressive 21 goals in five Premier League games. The possibility of an unexpected double in the top-flight and Champions League remains alive for Mikel Arteta's team, who made a strong return to the Champions League.
