Arsenal and Atletico Madrid Draw 1-1 in UCL Semi-Final

In a thrilling UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid ended in a 1-1 draw in Madrid. Nigeria's Ademola Lookman had multiple chances to secure a win for Atletico but faltered, while Julian Alvarez scored for Arsenal.
