Arsenal dissatisfied with Atletico's pitch. What's the reason?
Arsenal have filed a complaint with UEFA regarding Atletico's pitch.
Details: According to Guillem Balague, unexpected tension has flared up between the clubs ahead of the upcoming Champions League semi-final in Madrid. Arsenal's technical staff, responsible for the condition of the playing surface, were highly dissatisfied with the length of the grass at Atletico Madrid's stadium.
Representatives of the London club believe that the state of the pitch could negatively affect the quality of play, and have officially requested UEFA to conduct an unscheduled inspection of the field this afternoon.
The verdict from the UEFA delegates is currently pending.
It is worth noting that the match is scheduled to kick off today, April 29, at 21:00 Central European Time.
Reminder: Adverse weather conditions are expected in Madrid for the Champions League semi-final.
