Mikel Arteta faces the media after Arsenal's clash with Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners had a one-goal lead going into the vital fixture in north London.
Yet still many of the players who Arteta had hoped could feature sadly were not able. In their stead, many stepped up as both Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie helped keep a clean sheet in a new back four.
This is the first time Arsenal have ever reached back-to-back semi-finals in the competition. It wasn’t pretty whatsoever and they failed to score but they will not care.
