Lookman Misses Big Chances as Atletico and Arsenal Draw 1-1 in Champions League

Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman was Atletico Madrid’s biggest threat but spurned several clear openings in the Champions League semi-final first leg at Wanda Metropolitano. Arsenal took the lead just before half-time when Viktor Gyökeres converted a penalty after being fouled in the box. Atletico responded early in the second half when Ben White’s handball led to a spot-kick that Julián Álvarez coolly dispatched. A late VAR reversal denied Arsenal another penalty for a foul on Eberechi Eze, and despite frantic efforts from both sides, the match ended in a 1-1 stalemate. All to play for ahead of the return leg in London on May 5th.
