Paris Saint-Germain faced a bitter experience on January 20 when they were defeated by Luis Suarez’s double. The Colombian goal scorer is expected to be the main threat to the London defense.
Arsenal’s Performance Decline
Mikel Arteta’s men seem to be slowing down after an impressive winter. Defeated by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on March 22 (0-2) and eliminated from the FA Cup by Southampton last Saturday (2-1), the Gunners have suffered as many defeats in two games as in the previous 28.
Still leading the Premier League with a comfortable advantage over the Citizens, William Saliba and his teammates will need to reinvigorate themselves if they want to achieve the exceptional double of winning both the Championship and the Champions League as they set out to do in the spring.
The first leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Sporting CP and Arsenal will kick off at 9 pm on Tuesday, April 7th. The match will be broadcast live on Canal+ Sport.
