Arsenal booked their place in the Champions League semi-finals after a 1-0 aggregate victory over Sporting CP, securing the win with a 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. Manager Mikel Arteta said the achievement represents something never done in the club's history, praising the squad's effort despite missing several key players due to injury or suspension.

The North London side will now face Atletico Madrid in the last-four, aiming to build on their run to the semi-finals last season. For Nigerian fans, Arsenal's progress continues to fuel passion for the Premier League abroad, with many tuning in from Lagos, Abuja and beyond to watch the Gunners' matches live.

The first leg of the semi-final is scheduled for later this month; kick-off times will likely fall late at night West African Time due to the European fixture list. Supporters can follow the tie on SuperSport channels or via streaming platforms that hold the UCL rights in Nigeria.

Will you stay up late to watch Arsenal take on Atletico Madrid, or will you rely on highlights and post-match analysis to stay connected with the team's historic push?
