The final matchup features Sporting Lisbon, who eliminated the tournament’s dark horse Bodø/Glimt, and Arsenal, Premier League leaders who knocked out Bayer Leverkusen. This will be their second meeting in the Champions League. The only previous encounter came last season, when the “Gunners” secured a 5-1 win in Lisbon. The European record favors the English side, with three wins in seven matches, while the Portuguese side’s only victory came in the 2022-23 Europa League, when they eliminated Arsenal on penalties.
