One of the key factors in the semi-final will be the contrasting domestic positions of the two teams. Atlético are out of the La Liga title race but comfortably in the top four, meaning the Champions League is now their sole focus.
Arsenal, however, are competing on two fronts. While they’re back at the top of the Premier League table, they are facing tough competition from Manchester City and have been out of form recently. This though will be something of light relief for the Gunners in a competition they are still yet to lose in this season.
As for the players to watch, Julián Álvarez and Antoine Griezmann will be key for Atlético, while Arsenal fans will be hoping Kai Havertz has regained full fitness and can help the team reach their first Champions League final in 20 years.
