Atletico and Arsenal drew: The decision on the finalist falls in London

The first half belonged to the visitors from England, who took the lead in the 42nd minute. After a foul in the penalty area, the referee pointed to the penalty spot, and the safe performer was Gyökeres to give Arsenal a 1:0 lead.

The continuation of the meeting in Madrid brought a much better game of the home team. Atletico played more aggressively and already in the 54th minute got a penalty after Ben White’s handball. After the VAR check, the most severe penalty was awarded, and Julián Alvarez equalized the score at 1:1 with a precise shot.

The home team then continued to press and were closer to a complete turnaround. Antoine Griezmann hit the bar after a cross from the wing, while a great opportunity was missed by Lookman, whose shot from close range was saved by Arsenal goalkeeper David Ray.

It was played in the 78th minute. The Dutch referee pointed to the white spot for the third time, when Hancko and Eze were in the duel. He received a call from the VAR room, watched the video many times, and finally changed his decision. And canceled the penalty.

Despite the great initiative of Atlético and even seven minutes of stoppage time, the result did not change, so the match ended in a 1:1 draw.
