The big spectacle like PSG vs. Bayern was in the other Champions League semi-final clash between Arsenal and Atlético was at least absent in the first leg. Will that be different today?
There was, however, an early moment in the match when a goal from open play seemed on the cards. After Antoine Griezmann broke through on the right wing, Arsenal keeper Raya could only parry the low cross awkwardly into the middle.
There stood Giuliano Simeone, ready to shoot from just under six meters out. At the very last moment, it was Declan Rice who managed to block the attempt with a brilliantly timed sliding tackle. What a tackle from the Englishman.
The Gunners, on the other hand, had still not managed to create any clear-cut chances in front of the Rojiblancos’ goal in the opening half hour.
