Arsenal advances to UCL semis with Raya's stellar goalkeeping

Arsenal secured Champions League semi-final spot after 0-0 draw with Sporting CP at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night, advancing 1-0 on aggregate. Sporting CP vice-captain Daniel Braganca praised Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya as 'extraordinary' after his performance helped eliminate the Portuguese side. Raya, who received UEFA's Player of the Match award for the first leg, made crucial saves throughout both matches that prevented Sporting from scoring. Arsenal is now the only Premier League team left in the competition and shifts focus to the title race, facing Manchester City in a crucial match on Sunday. With the Premier League title on the line, can Arsenal maintain their Champions League momentum while preserving their domestic league advantage?
