Quarter-final lineup set: Arsenal and Liverpool are both through to the Champions League last eight
Arsenal Football Newsletter
The Gunners remain the only unbeaten side left in this season’s competition after overcoming Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 on aggregate in the last 16, with Eberechi Eze and Declan Rice on target in a 2-0 second-leg win.
Standing in Arsenal’s way of reaching successive Champions League semi-finals is a Sporting side that produced the comeback of the round to end Bodo/Glimt’s fairytale run in Europe.
Sporting overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit to progress 5-3 on aggregate after extra time, setting up a quarter-final showdown against Arsenal and a reunion with former striker Viktor Gyokeres.
Should Arsenal get past Sporting, they will face a semi-final against either Barcelona or Atletico Madrid after they overcame Newcastle and Tottenham respectively.
Elsewhere, Liverpool will take on holders PSG in the quarter-finals in a repeat of last season’s last-16 showdown, where the French side progressed on penalties en route to claiming a first-ever Champions League title.
