"Two of Europe's greatest sides to have never won the UEFA Champions League clash in league phase match at Emirates. Who: Arsenal vs Athletico Madrid What: UEFA Champions League Where: Emirates Stadium in London, United Kingdom When: Tuesday, October 21 at 8pm (19:00 GMT) How to follow: We'll have all the build-up on Al Jazeera Sport from 5pm (16:00 GMT) before our live text commentary stream."
"The Gunners head into the blockbuster European matchup riding high in the Premier League after winning four of their last five matches and sitting three points clear of Manchester City on top of the standings. For the Rojiblancos, a three-time Champions League finalist, Tuesday's fixture is a prime opportunity to test their mettle against last season's UCL semifinalists. Here is all to know before their epic clash:"
"Arsenal came closest to winning the UCL in 2006, reaching the final and taking a 1-0 lead against Barcelona before ultimately losing 2-1. Atletico have reached the final three times in 1974, 2014 and 2016. Their most recent loss might have been the most painful: An excruciating extra-time defeat, 5-3 on penalties, to archrivals Real Madrid at the Stadio San Siro in Milan, Italy."
