Arsenal midfield star Declan Rice said reaching another Champions League semi-final was "an amazing achievement" for Arsenal despite failing to silence their critics in a 0-0 draw at home to Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday. The Gunners progressed 1-0 on aggregate thanks to Kai Havertz's late winner in the Portuguese capital last week. 

Arsenal, who have never won the Champions League, were knocked out in the last four by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain last season. They will face Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals for the chance to take on PSG or Bayern Munich in Budapest next month. "To go back-to-back semi-finals is an is an amazing achievement for this group," Rice told TNT Sports. "We want to now go one step further than last year and get to the final."
