00:02In the midfield and Alvarez preferred to Alex Sorlott up top.
00:09Martinelli in, Havertz and Eza out.
00:16Atleti half of the field.
00:17And Atleti, everyone back behind the ball, pretty much apart from Alvarez.
00:22Oh, Madweke saw a little gap and got through it quite brilliantly.
00:26Oh, Martinelli lunged at it.
00:28And Capier was coming in behind him and his sight of the goal was...
00:33It's a great run from him.
00:34Lovely work that, Nani Madweke, getting right to the byline, standing the cross up.
00:39Watching Capier, that's dropping to him perfectly on that left foot.
00:43And in the end...
00:44Atleti Koke, their captain, extraordinary.
00:46What a servant he's been.
00:50It's Alvarez, brought it down neatly, stayed on his feet well.
00:54Got the shot away, brilliant play.
00:56And David Raya tips it around for a corner.
01:00All round, actually.
01:01Lovely ball and the first touch and the control.
01:03And then the technique from Alvarez.
01:06Hits it beautifully, doesn't he?
01:07David Raya flies to his left-hand side and gets a good hand on that one to knock it away.
01:12But really nice football all round.
01:15And Arsenal, I think, did exactly the right thing there.
01:17Gabriel got close.
01:24Magweke.
01:25Good run by Magweke.
01:28And he wasn't far away.
01:29That's terrific play.
01:31Really good play.
01:35Heading from Alvarez is straight to Zubimendi.
01:38This is Odegaard to Zubimendi.
01:40And Jokuresh goes over and the referee points to the penalty spot.
01:44And Arsenal have a penalty here.
01:47Victor Jokuresh had the ball under his control.
01:51Hanko does right there.
01:52He's got his hands on him.
01:53He faces Jan Oblak from the spot.
01:59And Arsenal lead in the semi-final.
02:06Atletico Madrid 0, Arsenal 1.
02:10Victor Jokuresh.
02:11Great penalty.
02:13Nice and positive.
02:14Everything you want.
02:16And the referee blows his whistle.
02:18It's half-time in the first leg.
02:21Dani Makaly.
02:24Awarding the penalty kick.
02:27So one change for the hosts.
02:29Arsenal have the lead.
02:31Let's return to Andy Townsend and Steve Wilson.
02:35Underway.
02:36They are kicking from left to right.
02:39Alvarez and Griezmann over it.
02:42David Rea just double-checking his angles.
02:44Three-man Arsenal wall.
02:47It is Alvarez.
02:49That was not very far away.
02:52The shape on that free kick was perfect, wasn't it?
02:57Griezmann.
02:58Very clever little header.
02:59Into the run of Alvarez.
03:01Now Lippmann.
03:02Straight at David Rea.
03:05Griezmann.
03:09It's a corner.
03:10It could so easily have been one each.
03:12Oh, couldn't it just?
03:13I think it's an incredible double save.
03:16Gabriel gets dragged out of that central position.
03:19Clever play from Alvarez to Lukman.
03:21There's the first stop.
03:22And then Griezmann half-hearted with that one.
03:24Then runs...
03:25Oh, it's actually a block.
03:26Yeah, Gabriel.
03:27It's Gabriel.
03:29Really good stop, that one.
03:31Right out the goalkeeper.
03:33Nonetheless...
03:35Griezmann with this corner kick.
03:36Marcus Llorente miss-hit the volley.
03:38They're claiming handball here.
03:42They're insisting on handball here.
03:45Yep, and the referee's saying...
03:48We'll check it.
03:51Well, Llorente didn't hit.
03:53And he's going to go and have a look at this.
04:03Well, you'd think this is going to be given.
04:05The hand is away from the body.
04:08There might be a little touch,
04:09but there's also a little movement of that left hand towards the ball.
04:13Yeah.
04:13From Ben White.
04:14There is.
04:15He moves his hand to the ball, Andy.
04:16He does.
04:17No, he does.
04:17I don't see that much contact off the leg there.
04:21Who's going to give this?
04:24It's a penalty kick.
04:28It's a penalty kick.
04:31Penalties from five taken this season.
04:33This to level it up.
04:35And he does.
04:37It's 1-1.
04:43That wasn't a penalty.
04:45It was a catapult.
04:46Yeah.
04:46Great strike, wasn't it?
04:49Hard and fast and high,
04:51which has impacted on the game.
04:54As Luckman finds Ruggieri.
04:58And here's Adamola Luckman.
05:00And Griezmann!
05:01Oh, it's come off the woodwork!
05:04They're rocking and they're digging very deep to hang in there at this moment.
05:10That looping effort from Griezmann.
05:12Griezmann has the ball here and he spears a lovely ball into Alvarez who has Llorente to his right-hand
05:17side.
05:18Llorente now running at Gabriel.
05:20Luckman got in front of Ben White!
05:22And David Ryan makes a huge save.
05:25What a stop.
05:27Here we go.
05:28Here's that ball from Llorente.
05:29Look at the way he just pinches it there.
05:32Luckman.
05:33And then he kind of has to dig.
05:44Eze went down.
05:45The referee, Danny Markle, he's pointed to the penalty spot.
05:47It's going to be the third penalty of the game.
05:54Big call.
05:55Big call from the referee.
05:57Looks like Eze gets there first, but...
06:00I mean, it's the merest of contact, I've got to tell you.
06:10He's going to go and have a look here.
06:28Yes, there's contact, but...
06:31Insufficient force?
06:33So minimal.
06:34It's such minimal.
06:35It's a grazing of one boot on another.
06:40Eze's going to go down.
06:42He ends up throwing himself to the floor.
06:44Look, almost throwing his own legs into Hanko.
06:49I just don't see those as penalties.
06:52I don't get it.
06:54But massive call this.
06:58Well, clearly, Danny Markle is giving himself all the time he needs,
07:03and rightly so, to make the decision.
07:07You can only assume that the recommendation from the VAR
07:10is that it should not be a penalty,
07:12otherwise he wouldn't have gone to look at it again.
07:15It's no penalty.
07:29Zubimendi, Moschera, Eze, Moschera!
07:32Old Black, strong hands.
07:35Saka with the header.
07:36Yeah, and Old Black can rise in, wasn't it?
07:39Will have ended up going over the bar, but...
07:41Very happy that Saliba read that as early as he did.
07:46But Eze's been dispossessed by Hanko.
07:49David Hanko.
07:50Oh, what a strike that is by Pubil.
07:53He wants a corner.
07:55Absolutely, brilliantly.
07:57Oh, he's flushed it, hasn't he?
07:58Really has.
08:00Oh, he's hit.
08:01Last opportunity from this Arsenal free-kick.
08:04No, there isn't.
08:05The referee, Danny Markle, blows his whistle.
08:08It is all square after the first leg of this semi-final.
08:12Atleti 1, Arsenal 1.
08:14And then...
08:15The referee...
