Sporting already has everything in place for the trip to London, where they will face Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The Lions head into this match after a day off, now fully focused on the European challenge.

Before travelling, Rui Borges’ squad will train at the Alcochete Academy in a session scheduled for 10:30am. The first 15 minutes will be open to the media, offering a glimpse of the final preparations ahead of the decisive clash.

After lunch, the delegation will head to England, where the usual pre-match press conference is already scheduled. Rui Borges and one of the players will speak to journalists at 7:00pm in London, in what will be the final media moment before the game.

It should be remembered that Sporting go into the match at a disadvantage after a 0-1 defeat in the first leg in Lisbon. Even so, the team believes it is possible to turn the tie around and keep dreaming of a historic place in the semi-finals.

Sporting will return to the pitch next Wednesday, 15 April, against Arsenal. The match, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, against Mikel Arteta’s side, will kick off at 8:00pm at the Emirates Stadium – where thousands of Sporting fans are expected to be present.
