Arsenal-Atl. Madrid, Spaniards furious: cold showers and complaint to UEFA

What happened during the training sessions in preparation for Arsenal-Atletico Madrid, the Champions League match scheduled for this evening, is truly incredible. At the end of today’s session, held under relentless rain, the Colchoneros found only cold water in the showers and were forced to return to the hotel due to the lack of hot water. The Spanish club did not take the incident well at all, immediately deciding to report it to UEFA.

In fact, Simeone interrupted the training session early to prevent his players from being soaked and unable to use the showers right away.

The Gunners did not ignore the issue, responding with a statement of apology for the unexpected problem. The Gunners managed to resolve the issue, but by then it was too late. The English side also immediately clarified that it was not a strategy to destabilize their opponents ahead of tonight’s match. In fact, it was a problem with the entire facility; therefore, there was no hot water in the home team’s locker rooms either.

Let us remember that, according to regulations, ‘stadiums hosting the Champions League must have hot showers’.
