Atlético Madrid and Arsenal drew 1-1 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal on April 29, 2026, in Madrid. Viktor Gyökeres opened the scoring with a 44th-minute penalty for Arsenal, before Julián Álvarez equalised from the spot in the 56th minute for Atlético. Arsenal were denied a potential winner late on when referee Danny Makkelie overturned a second penalty award after a VAR review, leaving everything to play for in the second leg in north London.
