Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid kick-off: Tue, May 5, 3pm ET / 8pm BST

Although the first leg of this Champions League semi-final tie between immovable object and immovable object went precisely as feared, Julian Alvarez's second-half penalty cancelling out Viktor Gyokeres' first-half spot-kick, events elsewhere could open up tonight's decisive second leg.

Self-flagellation neatly encapsulates Arsenal under Mikel Arteta, but after unexpectedly taking an enormous step towards the Premier League title last night, there's bound to be a carnival atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium today. Having had precious little to celebrate over his eight-year reign, Arteta's response to this rare outpouring of joy is a fascinating subplot.

It would be a surprise if Arsenal, who have kept eight clean sheets and conceded just six goals in the UCL, softened their approach, but the positive energy from the stands could prove difficult for the players themselves to resist, players such as Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka, who have slipped down the England pecking order in a World Cup year.

Only Erling Haaland is more prolific than Alvarez in the Champions League, but nobody has made more goal-saving interventions than David Raya. With Alexander Sorloth managing a hamstring issue, it falls primarily on Antoine Griezmann – who leaves Europe for Orlando City this summer – to help Alvarez pick a route through this fearsome Arsenal backline.
