Atlético Madrid files complaint to UEFA over Arsenal’s poor reception

Atlético Madrid have lodged an official complaint with UEFA following what they described as an “unacceptable situation” during their pre-match preparations at the Emirates Stadium.

The Spanish club were left without access to hot water after their training session, forcing players to return to their hotel to shower. This incident occurred after the evening session in rainy conditions, leaving players cold and uncomfortable. Atlético officials expressed frustration, labeling the experience as “unprofessional” and “disrespectful” for a club of their stature, especially ahead of a major European fixture.

UEFA is expected to review the complaint, while Arsenal have yet to issue an official statement regarding the matter. The situation has sparked debate about stadium standards and the responsibility of host clubs to ensure proper facilities for visiting teams.

The sources close to the team suggested that while the issue may have been a technical fault, Atlético are demanding a formal explanation from both Arsenal and UEFA, arguing that proper hospitality and facility standards are part of UEFA’s pre-match regulations.

The timing of the incident is just hours before a key European encounter which has added an extra layer of tension between the two clubs. While Arsenal have not yet commented publicly, UEFA is expected to launch an inquiry to determine whether the incident breached competition standards.
