Arsenal to face Atlético Madrid in semi-finals of the Euro
Arsenal face a tough assignment in their quest to salvage something from the season after being drawn to face the favourites, Atlético Madrid, in the Europa League in their first European semi-final for nine years.
After surviving a scare to come from two goals down to draw 2-2 against CSKA Moscow on Thursday, Arsenal will play the first leg at the Emirates on 26 April before the return game on 3 May. Marseille and Salzburg were paired together in the other semi-final.
The competition represents Arsenal’s only chance of winning silverware and is their only realistic opportunity of qualifying for the Champions League given their poor domestic form. They are sixth in the Premier League, 13 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham.
