But where can fans watch this match? Where to watch the Atletico vs Arsenal UCL semi-final? And Atletico vs Arsenal live streaming details.
Atletico and Arsenal have had long histories of being “close enough” teams when it comes to winning big trophies. On one hand, the Spanish side has not finished out of the top four in La Liga since 2012. Meanwhile, Arsenal has finished second in the Premier League for three seasons running.
Atletico Madrid have never won the UCL. Although they have reached the final twice in the last 13 years. They have also been as deep as the semi-final twice this decade already. However, they have not had the smoothest of rides in this competition in the 2025-26 season.
They started the season off with a 3-2 defeat against Liverpool, followed by a 5-1 drubbing of Frankfurt. A 4-0 thrashing against Arsenal was next, after which came a 3-1 win against Union SG. They finished the first half of the league stage with a .500 record.
In the second half of their league campaign, the La Liga side beat last year’s finalists Inter 2-1 and then won 3-2 against PSV. In their last two games, they drew 1-1 in a game against Galatasaray and were defeated 2-1 by Bodo/Glimt.
