The first leg of the tie ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving both teams eager to secure their place in the final. Atlético Madrid can book their spot in the Champions League final if they manage to knock out Arsenal, who are aiming for their first final since 2005.

Griezmann has faced Arsenal four times before and scored once at the Emirates Stadium during their Europa League encounter in 2018. “The stadium is incredible, the fans are incredible, the club is incredible,” he said, acknowledging the challenge ahead.

As he prepares for this decisive match, Griezmann reflects on how his mindset has shifted. “I think as I approach the match, I’m more relaxed, more at ease,” he noted. This change comes as he gears up for what could be his last European appearance before joining Orlando City at season’s end.

Key statistics:

• Griezmann has played against Arsenal four times in total.
• He scored once at the Emirates Stadium in 2018 during the Europa League.
• The first leg of their current Champions League tie ended in a 1-1 draw.
• Arsenal last reached a Champions League final in 2005.

If Atlético Madrid is eliminated from this round, it will mark Griezmann’s final European appearance. His focus now lies solely on securing victory against an impressive Arsenal side that poses a significant threat.
