It’s advantage Arsenal after their 1–1 draw with Atlético Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal, despite the Gunners seeing a second-half penalty controversially overturned.
Tuesday night’s frenzy at the Parc des Princes served up some astonishing attacking sequences, but it was the art of defense and containment that was exhibited during a cagey first half in Madrid. Atléti and Arsenal combined for just two shots on target before the break, one of which offered the visitors the lead as Viktor Gyökeres won and scored a penalty in the 44th minute.
