In the first leg, Porto had a one-goal advantage at home against Arsenal, but in the last match, Leandro Trossard’s goal in the 41st minute leveled the score, and later, Arsenal won the match by 4-2 on penalties. It is a great time for the Arsenal fans because they last reached the last 16 in 2009-2010. It was not a good match for the Porto side, who lost their last eight knockout matches against the English opposition.

Barcelona vs Napoli: Robert Lewandowski’s goal gave Barcelona edge in the Round of 16 second leg

It was one of the best matches of the UEFA Champions League 2024 as Barcelona came back from one goal down to win the match by 4-2 on aggregate against the struggling Napoli. The second leg started well for Barcelona, who scored their first goal in just under 15 minutes. The young academy player Fermin Lopez scored the goal, but after that, it was Joao Cancelo’s goal that took the team in the lead.
