Atletico Madrid Complains About Arsenal Due to Hot Water Outage

Atletico Madrid's delegation experienced significant discomfort in London after the team's training session on Monday evening at the Emirates Stadium in preparation for their Champions League match against Arsenal.

According to the Spanish newspaper 'Marca', the players of the Rojiblancos were surprised to find no hot water in the locker rooms after the training session, forcing them to return to the hotel to shower after a strenuous training session in the rain.

The newspaper added that this situation astonished and upset the coaching staff and players, who could not understand how a modern stadium like the 'Emirates', in a major tournament like the Champions League, could face a problem with something as simple as hot water.

The newspaper noted that Atletico Madrid filed an official complaint with UEFA to register the incident, considering what happened to be an 'abnormal situation in a facility of this level'.

For its part, Arsenal issued an official apology after the newspaper contacted its officials, clarifying that the outage began at 18:45 and was resolved by 19:25, but the Atletico players finished their training and left before hot water returned.

Thus, the strange situation concluded with an official apology from Arsenal, while Atletico looks to channel its anger into additional motivation ahead of the anticipated match against Mikel Arteta's team.
