Getty Images A few days after the first leg in Madrid between Atletico Madrid and Arsenal, where the sides led by Diego Simeone and Mikel Arteta played out a 1–1 draw at the Metropolitano with goals from Julian Alvarez and Viktor Gyokeres, the two teams are set to meet again for the decisive semifinal second leg at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.
Arsenal are now under pressure both domestically and in Europe, as they are chasing their first trophy of the season under the Spanish coach, while Simeone's team are experiencing a completely different season. With no real targets in Spain for the final games of the season, they can now shift their focus to the Champions League semifinals, with the chance of what would be their third final in 12 years, after losing twice against Real Madrid in 2014 and 2016. With Antoine Griezmann set to join MLS side Orlando City this summer, the upcoming clash represents his final opportunity to deliver the long-awaited European trophy to his beloved club. Here's what you need to know ahead of the match:
