UEFA Warns Arsenal Over Kick-Off Breach Amid Criticism
UEFA has formally warned Arsenal to tighten their pre-match procedures after a kick-off breach during their Champions League tie against Sport CP. The warning comes as part of a disciplinary report urging the North London club to ensure players are ready when the referee's whistle blows.
Arsenal risks facing financial penalties if further offenses occur, especially with an upcoming semi-final against Atletico Madrid. In a related development, former Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has publicly criticized manager Mikel Arteta's tactical approach, specifically pointing out the heavy focus on set pieces during training.
This criticism adds pressure on Arteta, who is already under scrutiny following a recent incident where Real Madrid was fined €20,000 for a similar kick-off delay during their quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich.
