Arsenal – Atletico Madrid Europa League
This game of the Europa League semi-finals well could be the final. Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are the two teams with the biggest poster at this stage. The Colchoneros are a regular customer of the Champions League, and in recent years have even scored in the finals. For Arsene Wenger’s team this is the only title that could ease another disappointing season in the Premier League. In a week in which the French coach announced his retirement from Arsenal, this could be an “extra” factor, either for players to show themselves to potential successors or even for the coach himself to come out with a title of this importance. But the task does not seem easy, given the pragmatism and ability that Atletico Madrid have in these games to eliminate. Diego Simeone promises to make life much harder for Arsenal in the Emirates. Great duel in perspective!
