"Arsenal's record as the only unbeaten football team in this season's Champions League will be tested in the intense atmosphere of the Metropolitano Stadium."
"Atletico has conceded 26 goals in 14 Champions League games this season, while Julian Alvarez has scored nine of the 34 goals at the other end."
"Arsenal have endured a rocky patch recently, losing to Man City in the League Cup final, but maintain a three-point lead at the top of the table."
"Atletico's path to the semifinals has been taking first-leg leads, ambushing Tottenham at home and winning at Barcelona before riding out severe pressure in the return game."
Atletico Madrid will face Arsenal in the Champions League semifinal first leg at the Metropolitano Stadium. Arsenal is unbeaten in the tournament, having conceded only five goals in 12 matches. Atletico, under coach Diego Simeone, has a more expansive style this season, conceding 26 goals in 14 games. Arsenal previously defeated Atletico 4-0 in October. Both teams are under pressure, with Arsenal leading the Premier League and Atletico seeking silverware after a Copa del Rey final loss. The winners will meet Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain in the final.
