Mikel Arteta's men lost 1-0 in Portugal, but levelled the tie on the night through Leandro Trossard. However, Arsenal failed to add more goals and the match was eventually decided via penalty shoot-out. David Raya saved two spot kicks, while Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice all converted as Arsenal reached the last eight of the competition for the first time in 14 years.
