REVEALED: Why Arsenal's Emirates Stadium LOSES its name when the Gunners play in the the Champions League

Arsenal look to overturn a 1-0 deficit against Porto on Tuesday night in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie.

The Gunners were left feeling empty last time out when they conceded a 94th-minute wonderstrike in Portugal - and had no shots on target.

That leaves Mikel Arteta's men with a small mound to climb as aim to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2017.

You'd be forgiven for thinking they'll be hosting a home tie at the 'Emirates Stadium'. After all, that has been their ground since 2006, whe they ditched Highbury.

However, on a technicality, that's not quite true, not in the Champions League.

In European competition, the ground is simply listed as the 'Arsenal Stadium' because of a little-known UEFA rule.

This isn't just the case for Arsenal as Manchester City have also seen their home ground, the Etihad Stadium, renamed to the City of Manchester Stadium.

This is due to UEFA not recognising stadium sponsors under their rules regarding sponsorships.

In fact, UEFA sponsorships rules have also seen teams forced to change their name somewhat.

Austria's Red Bull Salzburg have seen their name shortened to simply FC Salzburg, and use a modified crest to fit within the regulations.

So don't be surprised if youfind yourself trawling through UEFA content and see the tag 'Arsenal Stadium'.

At least it leaves no room for mistaking who plays there.

Do Arsenal stick a chance of winning the Champions League?

The pessimists and detractors will say no, simply because it's Arsenal - flunking European assignments in spectacular fashion is what they've become known for.

Failure to progress past Porto, on paper one of the weaker sides in the last 16, will be added to their litany of exasperations.
