The Spanish representatives drew 1-1 in the first leg at home before suffering a narrow defeat in England. Atletico's journey in this season's Champions League ended with a top-four finish. |
 |
Coach Diego Simeone held his head in disappointment after the defeat. His plan to rest players in the domestic league to conserve energy for the Champions League had failed. |
 |
Atletico were on equal footing with Arsenal, but only managed two shots on target in the entire second leg. |
 |
Captain Koke expressed his disappointment. The last time Atletico reached a Champions League final was 10 years ago. |
 |
Arsenal continue to show impressive defensive form. The Premier League side are unbeaten since the start of the season and have only conceded 4 goals in 15 matches. |
 |
Speaking after the match, coach Simeone also expressed his dissatisfaction with several of the referee's decisions. One of these was Antoine Griezmann's fall in the penalty area in the 57th minute, which was not awarded a penalty. |
 |
Griezmann also played his last European Cup match for Atletico. He was unable to win La Liga, the Copa del Rey, or the Champions League with the Madrid club. |
 |
Coach Simeone and his players came to thank the home fans who had traveled all the way to England to support them. |
