Sporting Lisbon vs Arsenal History

Sporting Lisbon have 20 league titles to their name but are still, to some extent, considered the third team in Portugal (behind Benfica and FC Porto), and indeed, their European record is somewhat lacking. Their only European title to date came in 1964 when they defeated Hungarian side MTK Budapest to lift the European Cup Winners’ Cup.

Arsenal should arguably have won a great deal more when it comes to their impact on the continent. Under Arsene Wenger, the North London team were perennial competitors in the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League. However, their only final appearance came in 2006 and ended in a heartbreaking defeat to FC Barcelona. They have, however, proven victorious in two other European finals, those successes coming in the 1970 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup against Anderlecht and the 1994 Cup Winners’ Cup against Parma.

Sporting Lisbon vs Arsenal Head-to-Head

These two sides have met in three previous European campaigns, with the outcome of their clashes being very even. In both 2018 and 2023, they met in the UEFA Europa League. In the first of these two, a Danny Welbeck goal gave Arsenal an away win in Lisbon, while the home tie ended in a draw in the group stage of the competition. In 2023, Mikel Arteta’s side returned from Sporting with a 2-2 draw before falling to defeat after penalties at the Emirates Stadium.

Among the many players to have played for both teams are speedy winger Luis Boa Morte, Costa Rican legend Joel Campbell, and Portuguese international Cedric. Another player to have worn both jerseys is Islington born striker Raphael Meade. After coming through the ranks at Highbury, the youngster would go on to score 16 goals in his 51 appearances for Arsenal before making the surprise switch to Sporting Lisbon. He had some spells of consistency over the course of his three years at the club, scoring 24 goals in 40 league games before moving to Real Betis on loan and then switching to Scottish side Dundee United.
