| Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Madrid — Wednesday, 29 April, 9:00 PM CET (12:30 AM IST, Thursday)
The 2025–26 Champions League has thinned out to four. Paris Saint-Germain take on Bayern Munich on one side. On the other, Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid host an Arsenal side that has not lost in this competition all season. The first leg is at the Metropolitano. The second is at the Emirates a week later. By Wednesday next week, one of these sides will be in a final.
This piece is a preview of the first leg, written before kick-off. The aim is to lay out what each manager actually has to solve, where the matchup is asymmetric, and what to actually watch for over the 90 minutes. |
