Atlético Madrid complain to UEFA after fireworks outside London hotel before Arsenal tie | OneFootball

Antoine Griezmann's Atlético Madrid have lodged a complaint with UEFA after fireworks disturbed their London hotel in the early hours, ahead of Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg at Arsenal, kick-off 21:00.

According to ESPN, fireworks were set off at one thirty and at two in the morning in the night from Monday to Tuesday.

The first leg finished 1-1. Atlético were beaten 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the league phase in October.

For this return leg, the Spanish side changed hotel, choosing to stay in Shoreditch, in east London.

On Monday, head coach Diego Simeone joked the residence was cheaper. Atlético are chasing a first Champions League final since 2016 and have never won the competition.
