Arsenal leads the aggregate score from the first leg 1-0. They are unbeaten in their last eight games against Spanish sides in the Champions League. If Arsenal wins, it will mark their fourteenth consecutive match without defeat.

Key statistics:

• Arsenal has lost only two of their last 23 Champions League matches.
• Atletico Madrid has lost six of their last seven away games against English sides in the Champions League.
• Julian Alvarez has averaged a goal or assist every 80 minutes in his Champions League career.

Mikel Arteta expressed optimism ahead of the match. He said, “I can’t wait. I feel the energy in and amongst the team and our supporters, so these are the moments that we want to live together.”

Diego Simeone, Atletico’s coach, emphasized the importance of performance. He stated, “It’s nothing more than a football match, and whoever plays better will have a better chance of winning.”

This is the second time Arsenal has faced Atletico Madrid in a European semi-final; the first encounter was in the 2017/18 Europa League.

Observers note that Atletico Madrid has progressed from two of their five previous Champions League knockout ties when failing to win the first leg at home. Conversely, Arsenal has advanced in eight of their previous ten knockout stage ties when avoiding defeat away from home in the first leg.

The outcome tonight could set Arsenal on a path to their first final since 2006. For Atletico Madrid, a win would shift their fortunes after winning just one of their last seven away matches in knockout stages.
