    Raya heroics and Ødegaard magic see Arsenal into last eight

    James McNicholas and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal reaching the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in 14 years.

    Arsenal dispatched their penalties with such confidence, while David Raya took care of the rest saving twice from the spot to send Mikel Arteta's side through.
    The panel discuss what this win will do for momentum and belief within this young Arsenal team.
    Plus, captain fantastic - Martin Ødegaard, and one of us - William Saliba.

    Kai Havertz the hero in Porto dress rehearsal

    Kai Havertz the hero in Porto dress rehearsal

    Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's dramatic win over Brentford.
    Our summer signings showed their worth with Declan Rice getting his sixth goal of the season, and Kai Havertz bagging a lane winner as he did in the reverse fixture.
    Aaron Ramsdale returned to the side with David Raya ineligible to face his parent club, and made an unfortunate error to gift Brentford an equaliser before half time.
    The panel discuss whether Mikel Arteta's decision to bring in a new keeper was justified, but also give Ramsdale credit for how he recovered in the second half.
    Plus, the brilliant Benjamin White, and a preview of Tuesday's Champions League tie against Porto.
