Atletico Madrid 1-1 Arsenal: Champions League semifinal level after ...
Viktor Gyokeres put Arsenal ahead just before halftime but Julian Alvarez equalized in the second half — both from the penalty spot — in a 1-1 draw between Atletico Madrid and Arsenal on Wednesday.RECAP, HIGHLIGHTS — PSG 5-4 Bayern MunichThe football wasn’t wide open and ruthless in the same way that PSG 5-4 Bayern Munich thrilled the world on Tuesday, but the two typically robust sides traded more chances than punches in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal tie in Madrid. Arsenal looked better suited to the back-and-forth counter-attacking game that it became in the second half, and their newfound sense of attacking adventure so nearly paid off but for a video-review decision to take away a late winning penalty in the 81st minute.For live updates and highlights from Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal, check out PST’s live blog coverage below.Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal live updates - by Andy Edwards Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal final score: 1-1Goalscorers: Viktor Gyokeres (44' - PK), Julian Alvarez (56' - PK)NO PENALTY!

Results and performances have been rather unimpressive of late, as Arsenal only snuck past Portuguese side Sporting CP 1-0 on aggregate in the quarterfinals, after losing the League Cup final to Man City and crashing out of the FA Cup at the hands of second-division Southampton. For all of Arsenal’s critiques, Atletico Madrid would gladly accept being top of the league at the business end of the season, even if their football hasn’t been the most beautiful at times. Atleti are all but locked into 4th place in La Liga, which puts them back in the Champions League next s...

And if it lacked the beauty of Paris Saint-Germain versus Bayern Munich in the other Champions League semi-final, first-leg from Tuesday night, it still had drama; knife-edge tension.It was a tale of three penalties, two scored, one by either team; the award of the last one rescinded amid wild scenes. That had stood to give Arsenal the opportunity to take a 2-1 lead to London next Tuesday. In the event, the referee, Danny Makkelie went to the pitchside screen and ruled that David Hancko’s contact on the Arsenal substitute, Eberechi Eze, in the 78th minute was not strong enough.When it was over and the hearts had stopped hammering, Arsenal could be happy. They had grown into the first-half and one-nil to the Ar-se-nal sounded good when it was belted out by the travelling fans at the interval.Mikel Arteta: 'Completely unacceptable... against the rules' double quotation markAfter speaking to the boys and watching the penalty incident for the second goal (sic), I’m extremely disappointed and annoyed. It was against the rules, I don’t understand it and it changes the course of the tie. So: very, very upset. [Did you speak to the referee?] No, but the whole sequence tells a story. There is clear contact. If you make that decision, you cannot overturn that decision. When you have to look at it 13 times… at this level it’s completely unacceptable. [On the Atletico penalty] They have been consistent so if you’re going to give a penalty for that kind of thing, you have to accept it. I have nothing to say on that, but the one that changes everything is the penalty on Ebs [Eberechi Eze]. That cannot happen at this level. [On the game in general] We did a lot of very positive things. We are an incredible position – semi-final of the Champions League, we have to play in front of our people, and it is in our han...
