Sporting v Arsenal: Lions discover Champions League quarter-final dates | OneFootball

UEFA has officially announced the schedule for the Champions League quarter-finals, and Sporting already knows when they will face Arsenal. The first match will be in Lisbon, at the Estádio José Alvalade, on April 7th, starting at 20:00. The second leg will be played in England, on the gunners' ground, on April 15th, also at 20:00.

This matchup comes following a memorable knockout round by Rui Borges' team, who achieved a historic comeback against Bodø/Glimt, securing a place in the quarter-finals for the second time in the Club's history - and the first in this new format of the competition.

Now, they face a highly demanding challenge against one of the main contenders for the title, in a knockout stage that promises two high-level games. It is worth noting that Rui Borges will not be able to count on one of his key players for the first leg.

In just eight days, the lions will clash with Arsenal, Benfica, and Porto - three heavyweight opponents.

Sporting returns to the field next Sunday, March 22nd, against Alverca. The match, part of the 27th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Custódio Castro, will be played at 18:00, at the opponent's venue.
