Variants have added an extra level of complexity to fluid situation and the Arsenal vs. Benfica match in the Europa League, round of 32, is a good example. The listing meant that if Arsenal traveled to Portugal to play Benfica then a 10-day quarantine would have had to be served upon return and that was a non-starter. Darwin Núñez hasn’t played in the Premier League yet, but the burly 21-year-old has scored 5 goals in this season’s Europa League and the Uruguayan will be a threat to Arsenal’s progress. Attacking midfielder Pizzi is another scoring threat with 6 goals in this season’s Europa League. Over the last 60 seasons Benfica has made it to another eight European Finals (5 European Cup/3 UEFA Cup-Europa League) but have lost them all.
