Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenal’s achievement in reaching the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2010 but warned they still have a “mountain to climb” if they are to win the competition.
Arsenal hauled themselves into the last eight with a 4-2 win on penalties over Porto at the Emirates, having levelled the tie with a 1-0 win secured through Leandro Trossard’s first-half goal. A tense and nervy 120 minutes of few clear chances went to the wire but two David Raya saves in the shootout meant the likes of Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all potential opponents in Friday’s draw.
