"Arsenal's semi-final involves arguably the two best teams never to win the European Cup or Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain's glorious triumph last season left a vacancy for Atletico."
"No side has played in more Champions League finals without winning the thing. On all three occasions, in 1974, 2014 and 2016, Atleti came agonisingly close."
"Arsenal's oft-maligned progression from the 15th-best team in England to one of Europe's finest is marked by their historic back-to-back Champions League semi-finals."
Arsenal and Atletico Madrid meet for the fourth time, with previous encounters including a Europa League semi-final and a league match this season. Arsenal's participation in back-to-back Champions League semi-finals is a historic achievement, reflecting their rise in European football. Both teams are known for their defensive strengths and have yet to win the Champions League, with Atletico having reached the finals three times. The match is set for 8pm BST, promising a competitive clash between two top teams.
