00:00Atletico Madrid and Arsenal drew 1-1 on Wednesday in a cagey Champions League semi-final first leg at the
00:08Metropolitano.
00:09Victor Giocheres opened the scoring for Arsenal in the 44th minute, firing home a penalty after being brought down by
00:17David Hanko.
00:19Julian Alvarez equalised for the hosts in the 56th minute, converting a spot kick after a VAR review confirmed a
00:27handball by Ben White.
00:28Arsenal fielded a rotated squad amid their Premier League title race, with Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze starting on the
00:37bench and Kai Havertz absent.
00:40Antoine Griezmann nearly won it for Atletico, rattling the crossbar in the 63rd minute as the hosts dominated the second
00:49-half restart.
00:49A late Arsenal penalty was overturned after referee Danny Macaulay consulted VAR, ruling against a second foul by Hanko on
00:59Eze.
01:00Mikel Arteta's side now shifts focus to London, where the winners of the May 5th return leg will secure a
01:07spot in the Budapest final.
01:09The aggregate winner will face either PSG or Bayern Munich, with Paris currently leading their semi-final tie 5-4.
01:19We'll be right back.
