It has taken 14 years and three days, but Arsenal are back in the Champions League last eight - with Porto, penalties and a second-leg comeback once again in the script.
"We really had to dig in to find the magic moment at the end. We're starting to create an unbelievable energy in the stadium, we were all pushing to get it done and together we have done it.
When the elation dies down, this was not a glamour European tie for the ages. There were 74 fouls over the two legs - the most in a Champions League knockout tie since 2015-16."The experience of being in a penalty shootout at this level, and winning it, is something that the players will remember and take a lot from," said former Gunners winger Theo Walcott on 5 Live.
"Obviously it's a great feeling for me personally, first time in the Champions League and for the club to get into the quarter-finals for the first time in so many years," Raya told TNT Sports.
