The first leg of the second Champions League semi-final between Atlético Madrid and Arsenal currently feels like a decisive penalty shootout.

Even though both teams have already created chances from open play, the goals so far have only come thanks to two gifts from the spot.

In the 44th minute, Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres first scored from the penalty spot for the visitors. The striker had previously been clearly fouled by Dávid Hancko in the box. There was no foul leading up to Julián Álvarez’s equalising penalty in the 56th minute. However, Arsenal’s Ben White had clearly handled the ball in the build-up.
