They are also down to 10 men which makes playing out very difficult. Unless you are Real Madrid who seem to be better with 10 men in recent years.

Have you seen Arsenal defend away from home?
Atletico have nothing to offer at all. Terrible in possession.
Wilshere is doing good tbh.
Even then their play has been shocking, everytime they string two passes they mess it up. One more goal and its curtains, they have not come close even once. Which is very poor for a team of their quality, ten men or not.
Same old Arsenal, always cheating.
Diego Costa header in 91st minute to equalise.
Arsenal really need a second to take to Madrid given that they're pretty much being given a free reign to attack here.
This ref has seen nothing in the last hour worthy of a yellow card 
For feck sake how many chances does Lacazette need
Griezmann had a good chance in the first half though...and you are downplaying an impact of a red card.
Being down to 10 men almost guarantees a win for the team with 11 men statistically.
Atletico’s synchronicity in defence never ceases to amaze me.
The ref has given 2 yellow cards in the whole match
Arsenal have a man advantage so its nice for them if the game becomes physical.This ref has seen nothing in the last hour worthy of a yellow card
This Ateltico side isn't trusted much either.
They have been poor ten men or not, plenty of times teams with ten men show a bit more ambition. Their passing has been very poor to non-existent. We aren't that good that they have gifted us nearly 80% of the possession this game. And I say that as an Arsenal fan.
People on here used to advocate Simeone as a future United manager. Christ on a barnacle, if you think Jose plays negative football...
Atletico happy with the 1-0 defeat
Fancy them to progress if it remains like this

Atletico are terrible
Good point
Poor Griezmann must be bored out of his mind.
Picking Simeone as future manager after JM, would have nothing to do with style of play.
Do you not remember your game vs us when we got a red?They have been poor ten men or not, plenty of times teams with ten men show a bit more ambition. Their passing has been very poor to non-existent. We aren't that good that they have gifted us nearly 80% of the possession this game. And I say that as an Arsenal fan.
This is a tactical change, there is a 2nd leg to play so Simeone is only committing 2 players forward and hoping they do something magical to limit the goals Arsenal get.
If Atletico committed mord numbers forward they would be much better in their build up. But would be vulnerable on counter attacks
Hard to believe you're watching a Spanish team here, let alone one second in La Liga
Think I've seen someone suggesting getting rid of Mourinho, because of the football, and going for Simeone instead.
Even harder to believe that people seem to think being a man down for the majority of the game is no big deal.
Football aside, I like the idea of a manager you could easily imagine choking players who are shit out in the dressing room.
Ladyboy coming on to save the day.
Again, this has nothing to do with their rubbish play. I am not even sure you're watching the game, in the last 5 minutes everytime their midfielder has got the ball he has misplaced a simple pass.
This ref doesn’t book Arsenal players twice in a raw, utterly ridiculous.
Lacazette had two swipes at the Atletico player. Still no card.
No one thinks that.
They're playing 80 minutes with 10 men away from home in a European semi final, were you expecting free flowing attacking football?
Ozil been pretty quiet
Another Arsenal dive, yellow card stays in the pocket.
1-1
1-1
ArseYes!
1-1What a feck up that was.
Yaa, it only takes one second.
