Atletico Madrid and Arsenal Set for UEFA Champions League Semi-Final First Leg

Atletico Madrid and Arsenal face off in the first leg of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League semi-final at Madrid's Metropolitano Stadium on April 30. Both teams aim for their first European title, with Atletico recovering from a quarterfinal win over Barcelona and Arsenal advancing after defeating Sporting CP. Key players like Atletico's Jose Gimenez and Arsenal's Kai Havertz are doubtful due to injuries. The match is expected to be tactical, focusing on defensive discipline and counter-attacks rather than open play.
