Arsenal joins Atlético in the final four

Arsenal secured their place in the last four of the Champions League at the expense of Sporting this Wednesday evening at the Emirates.

Eight days after their short but precious victory in Lisbon (0-1), Arsenal got the better of Sporting this Wednesday at the end of their Champions League quarter-final return leg.

On the Emirates pitch, this time, the Gunners remained silent, forced to a blank score (0-0) against the Portuguese who had the merit of selling their skin dearly.

Arsenal, which reigned in the league phase, logically joins Atlético de Madrid in the last four of the competition. The half first leg will be played in Spain on Wednesday April 29. Return to England on May 5.
