Yep. The importance of ball carriers is so evident in the UCL. We've lucked out with Myles, Timber, Saliba, Rice, guys that can carry out of pressure and kill a press that way. My biggest worry tomorrow has nothing to do with the team. Madrid will put so much pressure on the ref (pens and red cards)
Low scoring sport bro. Real will test this ref and I hope he stands up. All refs in the UCL been decent, bar that guy we had at Porto away. He gave them a free-kick at every corner we had.
It was the most start/stop game I've ever seen under Arteta. Porto truly got under my/our skin, that was proper shithousery european game. That experience have probably done more for us in terms of navigating UCL moving forward then the Bayern ties.

That game was a gift for Arteta.
So much he can learn from that game.
