Kai Havertz's dramatic stoppage-time goal secured a crucial 1-0 victory for Arsenal against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. The win comes after the Gunners' first back-to-back defeats of the season, providing renewed hope that the club can avoid ending the season without silverware.
Reflecting on the turnaround, Havertz stated: "We needed that as we were all frustrated with how the last couple of weeks went. But now it's time to move forward... we still can make something happen this year. It can be something very special." Goalkeeper David Raya, who kept his 22nd clean sheet of the season, echoed this confidence, declaring himself "100 per cent" certain that Arsenal can lift the Champions League trophy.
