Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal 05052026
PREMATCH
Simply a must win, no matter how. Atletico Has the ability, it is about execution. The squad was rested for this day.

HALFTIME
Execution is key, it isn't about skill or talent. I think alvarez nor lookman have executed so well. Nothing is over, Atleti have to score two goals, and win in london

FINAL THOUGHTS
CONGRATS to Arsenal ! I said the match was about execution, on the night, Alvarez[misplaced strke]+ Lookman[poor touches]+Griezmann[couldn't find the way through]+Sorloth [flubbed free strike at goal ]
Last UEFA CL game for Griezmann at Atleti , maybe Koke's end as well. Big summer for Atleti. GRiezmann is talismanic and will need to be replaced, neither Alvarez nor Lookman have that utilitarian talismanic ability like griezmann.
Now to focus on 3rd in laliga and the next era at the club. When I look at this season while atletico madrid have scored more goals than in any other uefa champions league edition per minute, they have let in more goals than any time before per minute so the defense has to get better. What players can help that happen... I am not exactly sure until I see who stays or goes over the summer.
