'Give us Real Madrid next' — Victorious Gunners brag after Arsenal’s win over Porto

In a pulsating display of determination at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal secured a coveted spot in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals after a nail-biting 4-2 penalty shootout triumph over Porto and fans of the club have already set their sights on their next European victims, Real Madrid.

Despite Porto's initial control of possession, Arsenal surged ahead with Leandro Trossard's clinical finish, capitalizing on a precise pass from Martin Odegaard.

Despite a disallowed goal in regular time, the deadlock persisted, leading to a tense extra time and ultimately a dramatic penalty shootout, the first in the competition for nearly seven years.

Arsenal's impeccable penalty record this season remained intact as Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, and others converted, with goalkeeper David Raya emerging as the hero with two pivotal saves, securing Arsenal's inaugural competitive penalty shootout victory at the Emirates and sealing their passage to the quarter-finals.

Following the triumph, ecstatic Gunners supporters wasted no time in expressing their aspirations, with one fan taking to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to issue a bold challenge to 14-time Champions League winners Real Madrid, proclaiming, "GIVE US REAL MADRID NEXT."

Real Madrid, having already booked their spot in this year's quarter-finals by defeating RB Leipzig in the Round of 16, now face the prospect of a formidable showdown against an Arsenal side brimming with confidence and eager to make their mark on the European stage after an era of docility.
