Arsenal is aiming to make it into the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years when it faces Atletico Madrid in the semi-final second leg today.
Last week's first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, with Viktor Gyokeres's penalty being canceled out by a penalty from Atletico striker Julian Alvarez. There was also controversy in the second half as Arsenal was denied another penalty following a VAR review, as it was deemed that Eberechi Eze was not fouled in the area despite the referee having initially pointed to the spot.

Atletico's squad stayed in a different hotel on the eve of today's game than the one Diego Simeone and his players stayed in prior to the league phase game earlier in the season, which Arsenal won 4-0.
It was reported in the Spanish press that the hotel change was down to Simeone's superstitious nature, but the Argentine batted away questions about the hotel change in a light-hearted manner during his pre-game press conference.
Atletico boss Simeone: "We are doing better than in October. And the hotel was cheaper. That's why we changed."
