Bukayo Saka is not worried about Arsenal’s Champions League round of 16 return leg against FC Porto in London, as he expects them to win and make progress.
The attacker was part of the Arsenal team that lost 1-0 in Porto, and now they have to overcome the defensively solid Portuguese side at the Emirates.
Although Arsenal has been fantastic in the league this season, the two games they lost in 2024 came in the FA Cup and the Champions League.
Mikel Arteta’s side is eyeing their first quarterfinal in the competition in over a decade, and Saka is not concerned about their upcoming game in the competition.
He is confident that with the help of the Emirates’ crowd, they will secure the points.
The attacker said, as quoted by The Sun: “I’m not so worried, because we have a special night awaiting at the Emirates, so I’m looking forward to that.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Porto gave us a really tough time when we met in that first leg, but we have all it takes to get back in the game by beating them in London.
Our players have shown remarkable scoring abilities in our last few games and we back them to help us secure the win in this clash.

Arteta should stop experimenting with players and just play a midfield of Rice, odegaard and Jorginho (Partey, if available). That makes the team tick better. Upfront, it’s Saka, Martinelli(Trossard), Havertz(Jesus).
At the back, Kiwior (who has become stronger and bolder) shoud maintain the ful back position even if Zinchenko is available.
The only “experimenting” is with all the players you have mentioned so I don’t really understand what you mean?
He must tell the players to learn also when opponents are attacking they need to make sure they don’t run with them towards our goal until they get exposed block the opponents don’t give spaces.
