Two of Europe’s most combative sides face off at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night as Arsenal welcome Atletico Madrid to North London for one of the marquee fixtures of this week’s Champions League slate. The Gunners are among a sextet of teams to have won each of their first two matches and are on a record six game winning run against Spanish opposition in the competition, one which has seen Sevilla, Girona, Real Madrid and Athletic Club fall in the path of Mikel Arteta’s side.
Then again this proved to be a happy hunting ground on Atleti’s only previous visit, Antoine Griezmann’s late equaliser setting Diego Simeone and company up to advance to the 2019 Europa League final in Arsene Wenger’s last European tie. A more recent visit to these shores was not as successful, however, a Marcos Llorente brace taking from 2-0 down to level away to Liverpool only for Virgil van Dijk to head home a winner at the death.
Champions League four burning questions: Should Liverpool drop Alexander Isak? Arsenal set pieces unstoppable?
