Arsenal has no time to heal its wounds: a decisive week, which could seal the season, looms. The Gunners will first host Sporting CP on April 15, in the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League, a meeting where any outcome other than qualification would risk accentuating the feeling of crisis. This European shock precedes the most important poster on the national calendar.
On April 19, the Londoners will travel to the Etihad Stadium to challenge second-placed Manchester City in a duel that could definitively change the title race. Having seen their aura of invincibility shattered by Bournemouth, the Gunners must rediscover their strength of character if they are to avoid a late-season collapse and secure their first league title in more than two decades.
