After dreaming of an unprecedented quadruple less than a month ago, Arsenal’s chances of winning even a single trophy this season are now in serious doubt.
Amid all this was last Tuesday’s 1-0 win over Sporting CP in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final, with Kai Havertz scoring the only goal in second-half stoppage time. This has given Arsenal a clear advantage heading into the second leg at the Emirates Stadium and they will be confident of progressing to the semi-finals for the second season in a row.
The Gunners should not take Sporting lightly, however, with the Portuguese champions in excellent form. The visitors have won 16 of their last 21 matches in all competitions, including a 2-1 win over Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain in the league stage and an incredible comeback against Bodo/Glimt in the round of 16, when they overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit to triumph 5-3 on aggregate.
