In 1/8 final Arsenal faces Porto in second match for a place in the quarter-finals of the most commercial football tournament-Champions league. In the first leg, surprizingly, the winner was the portugal team that managed to beat their opponents with 2:1 with 2 unusual mistaked of the Arsenal goalkeeper-Lukas Fabiansky.Before the matches it was thought that the team from London will easily eliminate its opponens from Porto but things went differently. Now the two teams know each other and will be 100% ready for the upcoming match. Arsenal had a dramatic tragedy in the end of the last week when Ryan Showcross broke the leg of the midfielder of Arsenal-Aaron Ramsey. Even though sad feeling went among Arsenal players they managed to win the match and the next one too. Their captain Francesc Fabregas is injured and will miss the match which will be a great plus for the opposing team. Arsenal league position is 3rd with the same amount of points as the second Chelsea but with 1 match more then them. In the other hand is the team form Portugal that is also the champion of the country. They play very well in the last 4 years in Champions league and even one 1 trophy. But now agains them is the strong England team of Arsenal that won't give up in all the 90 minutes. Because of the great motivation among Arsenal players I think they will many opportunities for the goal. As I was saying Porto are a great force in Europe and everytime it's hard to defeat them. After the win against Arsenal Porto won against the team of Sporting Braga with the amazing score of 5:1. But then the lost against the strong team of Sporting Lisabon with 3:0 which was a great surprize. The they made draw with Olhanence(2:2). Now they are a little bit unfocused and make mistaked but always managed to deal with the situation. In their last 4 matches Porto leads with 2:1 wins and 1 draw. I expect a great "battle" between the two teams finishing with a draw(1:1) or a win for Arsenal(2:1)
