Martin Odegaard has urged Arsenal to use their dramatic penalty shootout win over Porto as fuel as they chase a Champions League and Premier League double. Mikel Arteta’s Gunners ended a 14-year wait to reach the last eight of Europe’s premier club competition on Tuesday after David Raya saved two spot-kicks to seal progression following a 1-1 aggregate draw at the Emirates.
Leandro Trossard’s first-half strike drew Arsenal level in the last-16 tie, but the two sides could not be separated until Raya took centre stage, with all four of the hosts’ penalty takers finding the back of the net. Arsenal had exited at the first knockout stage for seven consecutive years under former manager Arsene Wenger and until this season, had not featured in the competition since 2016/1
