SMASH AND GRAB! Havertz strikes late as Arsenal put one foot in Champions League semi finals with dramatic win over Sporting Lisbon
Follow Daily Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score‚ team news and updates as Sporting Lisbon host Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash at Estadio Jose Alvalade‚ with Isaan Khan reporting from the grounds.
Arsenal have travelled to Portugal with the aim of keeping their Champions League dream alive‚ after Mikel Arteta's side endured back-to-back disappointments in domestic cup competitions. The Gunners were hoping to respond to their Carabao Cup final defeat in the FA Cup on Saturday‚ but were stunningly beaten 2-1 by Championship side Southampton in the last eight. Defeat has piled more pressure onto their Champions League campaign‚ with Arteta's side hoping to maintain their unbeaten record in this season's competition when they face Sporting Lisbon.
If Arsenal want to win the Champions League‚ they will first have to silence a man generating a volcanic level of noise in the Iberian Peninsula. Sporting Lisbon may look the easiest possible quarter-final opponents on paper but they have in their ranks a man who can't stop scoring: a certain Luis Suarez. No‚ not the biter. This one is 28‚ Colombian‚ and has 33 goals to his name this season across all competitions. That's three more than Erling Haaland. Most of those are in a weaker league‚ granted‚ but he's already proven he can spear European heavyweights. In January he struck twice to sink Paris Saint-Germain . 'Football is s***‚' declared PSG boss Luis Enrique after Suarez's 90th-minute winner. There is a real chance of Suarez knocking Arsenal out. It's not the most probable eventuality‚ but don't write his Portuguese team off. This is‚ after all‚ a side which has beaten PSG‚ Manchester City‚ Tottenham‚ and even Arsenal themselves in recent seasons - Sporting beat them on penalties in the Europa League last 16 in 2023.
