Arsenal Advance to Semi-Finals

Despite a lacklustre individual performance, the Gunners' defensive discipline proved sufficient to hold off the Portuguese champions.

The victory sets up a high-profile semi-final clash against Atletico Madrid later this month.

Arteta praised his players' durability but acknowledged that the team must improve ahead of a crucial Premier League showdown with Manchester City.

The match was marred by an injury to Noni Madueke, who was forced off in the second half.
