Rude awakening for Arsenal in the Champions League. Poor game, poor performance and a return to the slow, ponderous play before their free-scoring run. Return to days of challenging Europe elite seemed far away… https://t.co/tyM7NCVN7R

Oh, tough one for Arsenal, nipped at the end #ChampionsLeague https://t.co/b65MoHMLd3
That’s what happens if you keep giving the ball away cheaply 🙄🙄we’ll beat them at the Emirates #COYG
That was an immature minute of football from Arsenal. First Gabriel miscontrols, then Raya scuffs his clearance, Rice overruns it, Martinelli tries and switch and fails. Ended up leaving themselves open.
It's fair to say Robert Lewandowski is having a great 2024 so far... He's given Barcelona the lead at Napoli #BBCFootball #UCL #NAPBAR https://t.co/9ivp2hjaEt
Robert Lewandowski scores Barcelona's first Champions League knockout goal in 1,078 days. Drought over 💪 https://t.co/33Uqm349NM
That was a very flat first half. Arsenal need more from everyone but particularly Rice if they want to start posing Porto some questions. So many sterile periods of possession with Porto pressing that triangle of Saliba, Gabriel & Rice. Too ponderous.
