Speaking on The Gary Neville Podcast, Jamie Carragher said Arsenal are strong enough to overcome the Spanish side when they meet at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid semi-final prediction comes after a tightly contested first leg in Madrid ended 1-1, with Julian Alvarez cancelling out Viktor Gyokeres’ penalty.

Arsenal were also denied a potential winning opportunity in the opening leg after a VAR review overturned a penalty decision awarded to Eberechi Eze, a moment that added further tension to the tie.

Despite the setback, Carragher expressed confidence in Mikel Arteta’s side, stating that Arsenal are the better team on paper and should advance.

He also questioned Atletico Madrid’s overall strength, suggesting they may not pose the level of threat often associated with top European sides.

The second leg at the Emirates Stadium is expected to be a high-stakes encounter, with both teams vying for a place in the Champions League final.
