Thierry Henry was so confident that Porto would miss their final penalty in their Champions League shootout with Arsenal, that he didn’t even watch the spot kick being taken. 

The Gunners reached the quarter-finals of the competition with a 4-2 penalty victory over the Portuguese side, after levelling up the tie on the night at 1-1.  

Henry was watching on inside The Emirates Stadium as part of the CBS Sports punditry team, and after the game they shared the moment the Gunners legend predicted what was about to happen at the end of the penalty shootout. 

Henry could be heard saying ‘he misses’ as he walked away, and he’s proved right as the video shows fellow pundits Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher celebrating David Raya’s save from winger.

Confirming his earlier suspicions Henry told host Kate Abdo, ‘It was the way he put the ball down, it looked suspicious to me, so I left.’

Raya was the Arsenal hero, as he saved spot kicks from both Galeno and Wendell to secure the club’s passage to the quarter-finals. 

Earlier in the night Leandro Trossard had levelled the tie on the night, giving Arsenal the lead just before the break. 

However, neither side could find a winner in normal time nor in extra time, so the game had to be decided by penalties.

Unbelievably it was the first time a Champions League knockout tie had gone to a penalty shootout since the 2016 final when Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid to win the trophy. 

Mikel Arteta’s side will be in the hat for the last eight when the draw is made on Friday, the first time they’ve made it his far in the competition since 2010. 

They will be joined by Manchester City, Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid and Barcelona, who also booked their place this evening with a 3-1 win over Napoli. 

The last two places will be confirmed tomorrow night when Atletico Madrid take on Inter with the Italians leading 1-0, and Borussia Dortmund meet PSV with the tie balanced at 1-1.
