ALL TO PLAY FOR IN LONDON! Did Atleti miss an opportunity against Arsenal?

Season 2, Ep. 44

Atlético de Madrid drew with Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal, which means north London will decide which of these two sides advances to the final on May 30. Atlético played well in the first leg, and the Metropolitano was effusive in its support...but the 1-1 draw means all options are on the table next Tuesday.


Topics of discussion include:

  • The Metropolitano's one-of-a-kind atmosphere
  • The tactical chess match between Diego Simeone and Mikel Arteta
  • Danny Makkelie's controversial decisions
  • Valencia on Saturday
