Since they touched down in Lisbon Mikel Arteta wanted his players to rekindle their sense of identity. With a 1-0 to the Arsenal based on resolve and unity they did so.
‘A big moment’ for the season according to Arteta.

Arsenal win over Sporting guarantees fifth place in the Premier League will secure #UCL football next season.🏆
my concerns about arsenal's occasional disjointedness are rooted in political philosophies related to individualism and collectivism, so this checks out
Liked this bit from Mikel Arteta.
And I do genuinely hope something good will happen 🤞🏻

Sweet. Armageddon averted AND the Arsenal won in Lisbon. Now, impeach the president of the USA and we’ll call this a solid evening, all things considered!
Arsenal have played eight matches in Europe against Sporting Lisbon, winning four and drawing four.

Given all the white noise over the last fortnight - both from critics and some Arsenal fans who should know better - that was a superb result, against a team with a fantastic home record. Hopefully that’s a great springboard for a great few weeks for ALL of us.
• Arsenal Kept a clean sheet
• First away team to beat Sporting CL this season
• Ended their 16 games win streak at their home

Arsenal do what is required, and get what they maybe most need: a win again, a good feeling again
There was a lesson in maybe how Martinelli was an attacker who finally stepped up - but another perspective is it was also a classic European display

Sporting CP 0-1 Arsenal FT
What a result that is for Arsenal after a testing few weeks.
One foot in the semi-finals?
4 - Kai Havertz's winner, assisted by Gabriel Martinelli, is Arsenal's fourth goal in the UEFA Champions League this season that was both scored and assisted by a substitute, the most by a side in a single season of the competition. Super.
Arsenal weren’t good going forward (shock). But I would argue for 75% of the game, we were hardly threatened. We still needed Raya to make some exceptional saves, but we done our job.
UCL Away Ties are so much about playing maturely and that’s what we done and ahead in the tie.
Left it late but halfway home in the CL quarterfinals! Celebrating a big performance in the Chicago sunshine! Up the Arsenal!

I'm gonna post here that I think anyone making this game about Arsenal not attacking better or more is missing the forest for the trees a bit. You don't go into every game looking to score as many as you can. If I feel Arsenal are trying to score three and they have output like that, I'll worry
