Omens have Arsenal fans convinced Havertz is key to Champions League glory

Arsenal have discovered that they will face Porto in the last 16 of the competition with the draw being made on Monday.

In 2021, Chelsea faced Porto on their road to glory, beating them 2-1 on aggregate in the quarter-finals.

And Arsenal fans believe that the arrival of Havertz, who famously scored the winning goal for the Blues against Manchester City in the final, could be the key to their own victory.

Reacting on X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan wrote: "20/21 -Havertz club plays Porto in the CL knockouts. 23/24 - Havertz club plays Porto in the CL knockouts."

It follows a thread on the social media site from the same account detailing similar occurrences between Arsenal's run this season and Chelsea's in 2021.

It is a trophy they have never won, coming closest in 2006 when they reached the final, which saw them lose to Barcelona.
