Atletico Madrid and Arsenal played to a 1-1 draw on Wednesday in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final. Both clubs are aiming to win the competition for the first time and return to the final after a long absence.
The match at the Metropolitano was a tactical affair, contrasting with the nine-goal thriller between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich the previous night. Both goals in the match were scored from the penalty spot, with Viktor Gyokeres putting Arsenal ahead in the first half before Julian Alvarez equalized for Atletico Madrid in the second half.
A late penalty call for Arsenal was overturned following a VAR review, leaving the sides to part on good terms. The two teams will battle it out for a place in the final in London next Tuesday, heading to North London with all to play for.
