Arsenal has issued an apology to Atletico Madrid after a complaint was filed regarding the lack of hot water in the Emirates Stadium changing rooms. The incident occurred following Atletico Madrid's training session on Monday evening, ahead of their Champions League clash.

Atletico Madrid's team was reportedly furious after discovering the icy showers. The team alerted Arsenal management to the problem around 6:45 p.m. during their training session, which was scheduled to end at 7:30 p.m. Frustrated, they cut their session short and headed to the changing rooms, but the issue had not been resolved. The team was "shivering and stunned" that such a problem could occur in a stadium of that magnitude.

Reports indicate that the hot water was restored around 7:25 p.m., but by then, Diego Simeone's team had already left for their hotel to shower. The issue reportedly affected both the home and away changing rooms. Arsenal quickly apologized, stating that this was the first time such an incident had occurred.

The incident has seemingly added tension to the atmosphere ahead of the Champions League match. Atletico Madrid is reportedly unhappy with the conditions at the Emirates, expressing surprise at what they consider a lack of modern facilities. Despite this "spat," Arsenal hopes to maintain its unblemished European record.

Atletico Madrid arrives with momentum, boasting a five-game unbeaten run, including a 5-2 victory over Real Madrid and a 5-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt. Arsenal, known for their defensive strength, has only conceded one goal from open play this season.
