Arsenal has reached the Champions League semi-finals for the second consecutive season, securing a 1-0 aggregate victory over Sporting Lisbon after a goalless draw on Wednesday.

The Gunners, led by Mikel Arteta, held onto the slim advantage gained from Kai Havertz's late goal in the first leg.

Sporting, a well-organized side, presented challenges throughout the match. Geny Catamo's volley narrowly missed the post just before halftime, marking a tense moment.

In the closing stages of the hard-fought match, Arsenal's Leandro Trossard also hit the woodwork. Sporting ultimately ran out of attacking options, failing to breach Arsenal's defense. This marks Arsenal's eighth clean sheet in 12 Champions League games this season, setting up a semi-final tie against Atletico Madrid.
