The match between Arsenal and Sporting was very competitive. But I couldn't believe Arsenal would lose like that. I expected Arsenal to seal victory during the game but it didn't happen. Sporting brilliantly leveled the game and took it to penalties. In the end, Sporting secured victory on penalties. This defeat is very embarrassing for Arsenal.
Sporting CP is one of the best team in the Primeira Liga, they deserve a chance to advance to the next round in the UEL
Now Arsenal can return to focus on the EPL, they must not miss the chance to win the Premier League this season. Arsenal's failure in the Europa League this season will soon be reward because they have confirmed a ticket to the UCL next season
Sporting success in advancing to the quarter-finals cannot be separated from the extraordinary performance shown at home to Arsenal. Sporting immediately got up in the second half to equalize after trailing 1-0 in the first half, the struggles of Sporting players paid off after forcing Arsenal to play 1-1 in normal time. Arsenal's failure to advance to the quarter-finals due to failure to take advantage of opportunities. A number of opportunities that Arsenal got in extra time could not be put to good use due to Sporting defense playing very disciplined.
It is very surprising to know the fact that Arsenal were eliminated in the Europa League because previously they always performed well, Arsenal were also the favorites as one of the top teams in this tournament. But this is football, all predictions are not always in line with the results of the match.
