Atlético appeal to UEFA over Arsenal’s showers 🚿 | OneFootball

A comical blunder spiced up the pre-match atmosphere between Arsenal and Atlético Madrid.

On the eve of the Champions League clash, the Spanish club reportedly contacted UEFA after discovering that the showers in their dressing room at the Emirates Stadium only provided cold water during their training session.

According to Marca, Atlético’s management considered the situation unacceptable. Arsenal quickly issued an apology, citing a temporary technical problem and assuring that it was in no way a deliberate act.

The tabloid The Sun added that hot water was finally restored around 7:25 pm, but the Colchoneros had already left the premises. Furious.

While this blunder made some people smile, it also raises questions about hospitality standards in the Champions League.
