A thrilling European encounter at the Emirates

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid – LIVE

Arsenal is set to continue their Champions League journey with a home match against Atletico Madrid this evening. The semi-finalists from last season have secured victories in both of their league phase matches thus far, without allowing any goals, and are looking to achieve six consecutive wins across all competitions.

Mikel Arteta expresses his excitement about the challenge of facing Diego Simeone, who returns to the sidelines after serving a one-match suspension, and is encouraged by the return of Piero Hincapie from injury. However, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Jesus will not be participating. On the other hand, Atletico is back in England just a month after their narrow defeat to Liverpool on matchday one.

Simeone’s team did bounce back with a convincing win over Eintracht Frankfurt three weeks ago, and although they have recently triumphed over their fierce rivals Real Madrid, they have yet to secure an away victory this season as they approach only their second competitive encounter with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
