Arsenal's Champions League quarter-final opponents are Sporting CP — and there is an irony that the tie follows Ruben Amorim's departure from both clubs. Sporting under their current setup play a high-energy, vertically direct game with relentless pressing and fast transitions. Their away record in Europe is dangerous — they caught several opponents cold in the group and knockouts stages. Key men to watch: ⚡ Viktor Gyokeres — physical striker with a fierce work rate ⚡ Pedro Goncalves — creative hub, set-pieces and through balls ⚡ Homegrown defensive compactness — difficult to carve open Arteta knows the opponent well. This will be a battle of systems, not just quality. ⚡ Two legs. Two chances. Arsenal's UCL campaign lives here.
