AFCON 2025
Arsenal have qualified for the last four of the UEFA Champions League this season making it two consecutive seasons under Mikel Arteta.
Kai Havertz’s late goal in the first leg was enough for the Gunners to advance after the second leg ended goalless at the Emirates.
It was a game devoid of excitement and clear-cut chances at both ends of the pitch for more than 90 minutes of football.
Geny Catamo came close to scoring for Sporting Lisbon just before the break but his one-time shot came off the crossbar.
Leandro Trossard’s header also came off the bar six minutes from the end of the tie from an Arsenal corner kick.
Arsenal will face Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals as they aim to reach the final of the competition for the first time since 2005.
