Summary
Mark Chapman is joined by Chris Sutton, John Murray and Rory Smith to react to Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid – a game raising even more question marks about the consistency of refereeing.
The panel also discuss whether getting away from Madrid with a draw a good result for Arsenal? Will they be nervous heading into the second leg?
We also hear from a very frustrated Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta who says he is ‘incredibly fuming’ that they weren’t awarded a penalty for a foul on Eberechi Eze.
Garry Birtles also joins the pod to look ahead to Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa in the Europa League semi-finals.
