Arsenal attempted various strategies to break down Porto, but the Portuguese side remained resilient, showcasing thorough preparation before facing Mikel Arteta’s team. According to a report from Portugal, as revealed by Sport Witness, Porto extensively studied Arsenal by analysing numerous video clips. They identified Arsenal’s threat from set-pieces and strategically prepared to win those battles.
