In the UEFA Champions League semi-final, Atletico Madrid lost 0:1 to Arsenal, thus missing their chance to reach the final. The match has raised several questions regarding the officiating, which have been a topic of discussion among fans and analysts alike.

This victory marks Arsenal’s first final in 20 years, with their last appearance being in 2006. The other finalist will be determined in the upcoming clash between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), with the second leg set to occur on Wednesday, May 6.
