Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Champions League Venue Information

Estadio Metropolitano Stadium Layout Guide

The Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano seats more than 68,000 people and it's one of the biggest and newest football stadiums in Spanish football opened in 2017. It has four stands named South, North, East and West and usually Atlético Madrid supporters fill the South Stand. The fans of the away team get a designated area to sit in for Champions League games, that corner block is sold out early, and the Metropolitano is fully covered and sound engineered to produce the greatest noise of the crowd, so you can imagine why it has developed its reputation as a fortress over its first 10 years in European nights.

How to get to Estadio Metropolitano

The Metropolitano is in San Blas-Canillejas to the east of Madrid, about 8km away from central Madrid. The easiest way to arrive is to take the Metro and get off at Estadio Metropolitano Station; you'll be right next to the stadium. The ride from the hub at Nuevos Ministerios in the centre of Madrid only takes 20 minutes. The stadium is served by high numbers of trains on match days and bus routes from the city centre. Fans should avoid driving and try to avoid travelling by taxi because parking is almost non-existent at the stadium for Champions League matches.

Emirates Stadium Layout Guide

The Emirates Stadium in north London holds around 60,000 fans and has been Arsenal's home since 2006. Arsenal Stadium was built across four stands, the Clock End, North Bank, East Stand and West Stand with the fiercest home fans in the Clock End and North Bank. On European match nights the away supporters will be in the Clock End upper and lower tiers. It's an all-enclosed, all-new modern stadium and the view from the different stand and section options are good and similar to each other. It might be a different experience during the Champions League semi-final though; the Emirates usually has a very dignified matchday and on these occasions it turns into something a little wilder.

How to get to Emirates Stadium

The Emirates Stadium is located at Holloway in North London, and public transport options include trains, the Underground and buses. The closest stop to the Emirates Stadium is at the Arsenal station on the Piccadilly Line (the stadium is just a two-minute walk away), Holloway Road station on the Piccadilly Line or Highbury & Islington station on the Victoria Line and the Overground. Fans should allow more time on the day of the matches when the Piccadilly Line is busier and more crowded than usual because they come from central London. Taxis and Uber are available in the area, however traffic becomes very congested near the stadium around match time.

General Admission Tickets

General admission Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Champions League tickets allow for general viewing of the games on upper and middle seating tiers at the venues.

Why Attend Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Champions League

Highlights from Previous Years

The 2017/18 UEFA Europa League semi-final was the most memorable clash between the two sides in European history. Atlético Madrid won the first meeting 1-0 at the Vicente Calderón before a 1-1 draw at the Emirates secured a memorable moment for Simeone's European exploits, but a heartening one at the Emirates. In the current Champions League semi-final, Arsenal have a chance for something different for the biggest show in the game. Atlético, meanwhile, reached the Champions League Final in both 2014 and 2016, losing both times to Real Madrid, and their entire European identity is built around making it back.

Unique Match Features

The distinguishing factor of this game compared to the other semi-final is the tactical aspect. Atlético's Simeone's are not known for producing nine-goal classics. They produce tight, suffocating results, where coming out 1-0 winners across two legs is as valuable as scoring more goals. Arsenal, under the leadership of Arteta, are tactically disciplined enough to compete in this way, but their best football is in the opposition half with Saka running past the backline. Both sides in this clash are tactically sound, but the best outcome is one that produces a clear-cut winner.
