Wesley Sneijder on Arsenal-Atlético Madrid: UEFA should have stopped it
Published on May 6, 2026.
Arsenal has reached its first UEFA Champions League final in 20 years, reaching 2-1 on aggregate against Atlético Madrid, marking a historic moment for both teams. Former Real Madrid midfielder Wesley Sneijder has suggested that UEFA should have cancelled the second leg of Arsenal's Champions League semifinal second leg against Madrid, arguing that the final should instead be between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. Both teams are known for their defensive prowess, but Arsenal advanced to the final after winning the first leg on penalties. Arsenal will play the winner of Bayern and PSG's second leg in Budapest later this month.
