No, some teams can’t challenge others in open matches, but to what level you’re allowed to not engage in a game of football is often determined by match officials. Other than a few instances, Porto were doing what they could to not participate in a football match and the referee went along with it. Arsenal might still lose, or draw that match at best, but a different referee would’ve told Porto to get up and get on with it, and I’d rather watch that match and indulge in that sport than what I sat through last night.

While I agree with you Kreb I have to remind you that the game is reffed so much differently than the Prem (no dig at Arsenal not being in the UCL for some time). They’re going to get away with those things and they have years and years of experience of doing it.

For me it just comes down to the lack of experience and getting caught up in the moment but like I said, I still think you smoke em at home. I actually think Arsenal is the 2nd or 3rd favorite to win it behind City & Real Madrid and I know City wouldn’t want to play you guys over 2 legs.
