“Virgilio Lopes Issues Bold Warning to Arsenal: Sporting CP is a Team to Fear!”



Former Sporting CP right-back, Virgílio Lopes, has alerted Arsenal regarding his former club ahead of both teams’ UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash in April.

He warned the Premier League frontrunners that Sporting is capable of defeating any team in the Champions League following their comeback triumph against Bodø/Glimt in the Round of 16 stage.

As per his remarks, the Portuguese team has previously overcome Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.

“Sporting possesses the quality and capability to conquer any of these teams,” Virgilio stated as referenced by Metro.

“We have already triumphed over Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and numerous clubs, and now it is yet another challenge.

“It is essential to maintain the same spirit from (the comeback triumph against Bodø/Glimt in the Round of 16 second-leg clash) in these matches.

“In terms of quality, we are quite comparable, so if we exert more effort than Arsenal, we will gain an edge.”
