Porto Champions League fixture dates confirmed
The draw in Switzerland pitted us against the Portuguese giants, who have won the competition on two occasions and finished second in their group, level on points with Barcelona.
Having won our group, we were a seeded team in the draw and so will be heading to the Estadio do Dragao for the first leg, which will take place on Wednesday, February 21.
We then host the second leg at Emirates Stadium three weeks later on Tuesday, March 12.
Both matches will kick off at 8pm UK time.
Poppy shirts raise thousands for British Legion
We’re pleased to announce that our men’s and women’s first team shirts which were worn in the lead-up to Remembrance Day this year with specially designed embroidered poppies, raised £78,717 for the Royal British Legion to help support serving and ex-serving army personnel and their families.
The women’s shirts were worn in our games against Manchester City, Bristol City and Leicester City in November. The shirt worn and signed by Alessia Russo, raised the most of our club shirts across both teams, going for just over £5,705.
The men’s shirts were worn in our fixtures against Newcastle United on Saturday 4th November and Burnley which was played on Saturday 11th November, the day before Remembrance Sunday. Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard’s signed match-worn shirts in those fixtures led the way for our men’s team, raising nearly £3,500 each.
