Fan footage of Arsenal’s win over FC Porto revealed a few things the TV cameras missed on Tuesday night.
Arsenal won 1-0 against FC Porto in their Champions League last-16 second leg on Tuesday, levelling the tie at 1-1 on aggregate before winning 4-2 in the penalty shootout.
A number of the 60,000 fans in the stadium had their cameras out during the shootout, catching some of the reactions afterwards.
One fan caught William Saliba celebrating in front of the home fans, tugging at his shirt and pointing at the Arsenal badge.

Trossard turns to the Porto bench at the timestamp 0:16 in the video above, before again celebrating in the direction of Galeno and the other players at 0:28.
A couple of seconds earlier, at 0:26, you can see Gabriel shout towards Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
Our Twitter thread rounds up many of the rest of the fan angles of Raya’s save, if you want to check that out here or below.
If anyone has any fan angles of Raya's save, please drop them in the replies so I can keep watching it over and over.
I'll kick things off. https://t.co/bLtojTBEBD
