The second half resumed with the same fatigue for Arsenal. The splendorous team that aspires to win the Premier was incapacitated on a field where it had never been able to win in its history. Populated by footballers emigrated from Brazil who feel despised by the opulent English league, pushed towards a European tournament as if they were not worth what Martinelli or Magalhaes, their countrymen, are worth. gunners, The Porto footballers competed for each ball as if in each incident their professional claim was settled. The fate of their careers was at stake.
Arsenal did not react. Arteta did not react either. Where Sergio Conceiçao, his counterpart, made five changes, the San Sebastian native made only one: Trossard for Jorginho. The double pivot did not help him save the 0-0. Havertz played until the last minute.
Arsenal’s highest-paid player is, day in and day out, the one who participates the least in the game. Kai Havertz’s situation in the London team reveals an enigma. Even though Mikel Arteta – the only supporter of his signing, which amounted to 70 million euros last summer – continually calls the band to give him instructions like someone tutoring a disciple in trouble, the German still does not define the role. of the. He nominally appears as interior, behind the false nine. The fact is that he is almost always out of the play. If a midfielder must be a man specially trained to imagine and discover passing lines with his teammates, Havertz seems destined to do exactly the opposite. As he passes by, the lines are interrupted. Havertz only appears lucid once he steps into the area, where he takes advantage of plays created by others. Even for Trossard, a winger who played as a striker in Porto and who had more impact on his team’s internal game.

Diogo Costa, Otávio, Joao Mario, Wendell (Stephen Eustáquio, min. 89), Pepe, Wanderson Galeno, Pepê, Alan Varela, Nico González (Iván Jaime, min. 80), Francisco Conceição (Gonçalo Borges, min. 85) and Evanilson (Toni Martínez, min. 85)
Humble in its approach, Porto made a virtue of simplicity. There where Arsenal tried to apply their famous man-to-man forward pressure, Pepe and his teammates jumped lines in search of the fast Evanilson and Galeno. Once the ball was divided, they all gathered to compete for it in the midfield, numerically surpassing their opponents. Guys with an attacking vocation like Francisco Conceiçao—the coach’s son—or Gabriel Aquino, stood out for their tireless willingness to move to get away or to ask for it. The enthusiasm was enough for Arsenal to expose themselves to receiving a blow. Galeno almost gave it to him, who sent the shot to the post after Varela and Gabriel Aquino escaped the pressure with a succession of brave left and counter left.

Arteta, without reaction
The Oporto reef, a stone that opened the hull of so many illustrious ships on the European Cup route, made a hole in Arsenal when it was sailing under full sail. The English team had just scored 0-6 and 0-5 in their visits to West Ham and Burnley. He was adorned with his Premier League pride of reference. A surprise awaited him. Porto submitted him from start to finish. Up and down. When the referee looked at the clock, in the last minute of stoppage time, Galeno made it 1-0 with a shot from outside the area.
Yellow cards Declan Rice (1 min), Francisco Conceição (51 mins), Jakub Kiwior (56 mins), Kai Havertz (60 mins) and Nico Gonzalez (62 mins)
