ARSENAL 0-0 SPORTING: The Gunners booked their place in the Champions League semi final, but endured another nervy night as they were held at the Emirates

Arsenal and Sporting CP are clashing at the Emirates Stadium for the UEFA Champions League, a must-watch game alongside our liveblog coverage. Arsenal hosted Sporting CP on Wednesday, April 15, for the second leg of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals at Emirates Stadium. Following a scoreless draw, the Gunners maintained their aggregate advantage from the first leg to secure a spot in the semifinals for the second consecutive season. The Gunners returned home holding a 1-0 aggregate lead established at José Alvalade Stadium, courtesy of Kai Havertz’s dramatic last-minute winner. Aware of their slim cushion, the hosts adopted a disciplined approach, conceding just one shot on target to a Sporting CP side that proved unable to crack Arsenal’s defensive shape. With the result, an unbeaten Arsenal side has reached the Champions League semifinals in back-to-back seasons for the first time in club history. They now advance to face Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid, an opponent they already dismantled earlier this season with a dominant 4-0 victory during the league phase at the Emirates.

It’s less a pennant than an insult.

⚽ Champions League news; 8pm BST kick-off (first leg: 2-1) ⚽ Arsenal v Sporting – updates | Live scores | Mail Michael “Yes Neuer is a great keeper, but when you pitch him against Yashin, Banks, you’re really not comparing like with like,” emails Jeremy Boyce. “Chalk and cheese. Yashin, famously, could pick the ball up off the ground with one hand. Banks was a genius, saw him live once, crap match, Everton v Stoke, 0-0, the only moment of magic was a save he made. Neither of these would have been able to ‘play out from the back’ or any of that because it was a different game then. You could still pass back to the keeper! Neuer is great, but really? Up there with those greats from a bygone age? If you’re looking for a great German goalkeeper how about Trautmann as the GGKOAT ? How many others have played on with a broken neck? No doubting that Trautmann is a legend for different reasons but he doesn’t touch Kahn or Sepp Maier, never mind Neuer. However, Jeremy does make a good point in comparing players from such different eras. It’s effectively impossible, as it was a completely different game and is just a subjective choice. But I’d have 1. Yashin 2. Neuer 3. Buffon (for what it’s worth).

Arda Guler’s goal against Bayern Munich for Real Madrid is one of the fastest in UEFA Champions League history. The second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid got off to a blistering start, as just 34 seconds in, Arda Guler capitalized on a mistake by Manuel Neuer to give the Spanish side the lead with a precise left-footed finish. That strike allowed Guler to move into 13th place on the list of the fastest goals in Champions League history. The Turkish midfielder overtook Andreas Moller, who had held that spot since 1996 after scoring for Borussia Dortmund 36 seconds into a match against Juventus. It is worth noting that this statistic only includes Champions League editions played since 1992, when UEFA adopted the current name — along with an expanded format — replacing the traditional European Cup. Since then, the record for the fastest goal in the competition belongs to Roy Makaay, who scored after 10.12 seconds. Interestingly, that also came in a match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, played in Germany in March 2007 during the Round of 16. TERRIBLE MISTAKE FROM NEUER, BUT INCREDIBLE GOAL FROM GULER 😱#UCL pic.twitter.com/IQ2ZPoJrwr — DAZN Football (@DAZNFootball) April 15, 2026 The podium is completed by Jonas, who scored after 10.96 seconds for Valencia against Bayer Leverkusen in 2011, and Gilberto Silva, who still holds third place thanks to his 20-second goal for Arsenal against PSV Eindhoven in 2002. The fastest goals in Champions League history: 1- 10.12 seconds – Roy Makaay – Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid (2007) 2- 10.96 seconds – Jonas – Valencia vs Bayer Leverkusen (2011) 3- 20.07 seconds – Gilberto Silva – PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal (2002) 4- 20.12 seconds – Alessandro Del Piero – Manchester United vs Juventus (1997) 5- 21.06 seconds – Clarence Seedorf – Schalke 04 vs AC Milan (2005) 6- 24 seconds – Alexandre Pato – AC Milan vs Barcelona (2011) 7- 25.02 seconds – David Alaba – Bayern Munich vs Juventus (2013) 8- 25.20 seconds – Marek Kincl – Rapid Vienna vs Club Brugge (2005) 9- 25.54 seconds – Dejan Stankovic – Inter Milan vs Schalke 04 (2013) 10- 27 seconds – Conor Gallagher – Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid (2025) 11- 28.21 seconds – Mariano Bombarda – Willem II vs Sparta Prague (1999) 12- 31 seconds – David Trezeguet – AS Monaco vs Manchester United (1998) 13- 34 seconds – Arda Guler – Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid (2026) Guler also makes Real Madrid history Arda Guler not only entered the Champions League record books, but also etched his name into Real Madrid history. The Turkish midfielder now owns the second-fastest goal in the club’s history in European competition. According to sports statistics expert Mister Chip, only one Real Madrid player has scored faster in continental play: Rial, who has held the record since 1957 after scoring against Antwerp in 31 seconds. Guler now sits second with his 34-second goal, while the podium is completed by Felo, who scored against Juventus after 35 seconds in 1962.
