2006 saw the only previous meetings between the two clubs. Like this season. it was group G that hosted the two sides, and the Gunners emerged victorious from what was Emirates Stadium's second European fixture.
The home fixture is a game that will live long in the memory of Thierry Henry, who scored his 50th European goal. The Frenchman reached the milestone with a back-post header in only his 105th Contintental fixture.
The Gunners strolled through the group with five wins from their six games. It was Porto who scuppered Arsenal's chances of a 100% record in the group, with the goalless draw in the Dragao Stadium.
