Sporting v Arsenal: Lions drew special attention in Alvalade stands (video) | OneFootball

Lando Norris, together with Margarida Corceiro, were present at Alvalade to watch the match between Sporting and Arsenal, the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, which ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Lions.

Before the start of the match, the British driver received from Frederico Varandas a personalized shirt with the number 4, the number that has been with him since his Formula 1 debut in 2019, driving for McLaren.

It is worth remembering that, as far as the match was concerned, Portugal’s fight for an extra spot in the 2026/27 Champions League suffered a major setback, after the defeat against the Gunners, a result that further consolidated the Premier League’s position at the top of UEFA’s annual ranking.

With this defeat – the seventh in 46 matches this season – Rui Borges’ side still believe in reaching the semi-finals of the competition. The second leg will be played on Wednesday, April 15, at 8:00 pm, at the Emirates Stadium.

Before that, the green-and-white side take to the field next Saturday, April 11, against Estrela da Amadora. The match, counting for matchday 29 of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team managed by João Nuno, will be played at 8:30 pm at the Estádio José Gomes.
