After the final whistle on extra time, all eyes became focused on who would be taking the spot-kicks for Arsenal. Attention also centred on Raya, with the Gunners goalkeeper tasked with helping his team reach the next round.

Before the shootout began, Raya was spotted walking towards the home dugout where he sat alongside two Arsenal coaches. It was here that Raya could be seen watching a tablet, appearing to go over a plan for the Porto penalties.

Aaron Ramsdale, who was on the bench for Arsenal, was also near the bench offering his support to his teammate. After the crucial spot-kick from Galeno was saved by Raya, Ramsdale could be seen embracing his teammate in a hug as he joined in with the celebrations on the pitch.
