It was then a slightly naive attempt at a stoppage time counter attack, giving the ball away in a poor area, that directly led to\u00a0Galeno\u2019s stunning last-gasp winner for Porto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously we\u2019re very disappointed by the way we gave the game away at the end, and not managing that situation well enough,\u201d\u00a0Arteta\u00a0reflected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou get punished in the\u00a0Champions League\u00a0\u2013 if you cannot win it, you don\u2019t lose it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really dominated the game, but we lacked purpose, especially in the first half to have much more aggression, to break lines, to play forward, to generate much more threat in their backline. In the second half, there were much better things, and we generated a lot of situations without really creating much from it, but we\u2019ll learn from it.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/01hq8x0qvdw2b8xqdbjd.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Arsenal dominated but were beaten with a late sucker punch\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Arsenal dominated but were beaten with a late sucker punch \/ David Ramos\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear, it\u2019s half-time. If you want to be in the quarter-finals, you have to beat your opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite being a goal down on aggregate,\u00a0Arsenal\u00a0will still fancy their chances in the return leg at the Emirates Stadium on 12 March, requiring a two-goal victory to win the tie without the need for extra-time. Pulling that off would be a first Champions League quarter-final since 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners have actually lost all of their last seven last 16 ties in the competition, going out at the first knockout round every year from 2011 until 2017. Arteta himself was a player in five of those seasons and\u00a0joked before facing Porto that it was repeatedly down to the quality of Lionel Messi\u00a0and Bayern Munich rather than any sort of mental block existing at the club.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mikel Arteta has vowed that Arsenal will at least learn from the manner of defeat in the club\u2019s first Champions League knockout game in seven years, having been beaten by Porto.
