Today’s Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal live stream sees two of the four remaining teams in the 2025/26 Champions League begin their battle at the Metropolitano for a place in the final. The Spanish side’s Diego Simeone has done it all before, while these are uncharted waters for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.
While Atletico’s domestic season has left much to be desired – they currently sit fourth in the table behind Barcelona, the white side of Madrid and Villareal – they have once again punched above their weight in Europe, culminating in a hard-fought 3-2 aggregate victory over Barca in the quarters. Now Antoine Griezmann, Ademola Lookman, Julián Alvarez and co have the chance to make a first final in 10 years for the club.
Last summer, Arsenal fans would have bitten your hand off at the top of the Premier League with four games to play and a Champions League semi-final. And yet it feels like the breath has gone out of the sails of the good ship Gunners. They need a colossal final few weeks of the season to surpass Man City domestically and overcome Simeone’s robust Madrid men on the continent. Can Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard and the rest finally bring the good times back to north London?
