In the 75th minute, the forward was involved in a clash with Eze and stayed down on the pitch for several seconds. He managed to get up with visible difficulty, but shortly afterward realized he was not able to continue and requested the substitution. Álex Baena came on in his place.

The play originated when the Arsenal player went to contest the ball, tripped him up, and in the fall, unfortunately landed on him. In that movement, Julián’s supporting foot got stuck on the ground. The attacker grabbed his ankle and, after limping for a few moments, was unable to continue. What was most worrying was that he went toward the sideline with a slight limp before being replaced.

Up to that point, Atlético de Madrid had found in him the team’s most decisive player: he scored the equalizing goal from the penalty spot and was constantly involved in the offensive actions. The extent of the injury remains to be seen, with the focus on the second leg at the Emirates, where the Argentine is an important piece in Simeone’s plans.

The home team was going through a good spell in the second half, with the score tied by ‘the spider’ and several attempts to take the lead. After the substitution, another refereeing decision almost complicated things: the referee pointed to a penalty by Hancko in an incident inside the area with an Arsenal player, but this time the VAR intervened and Danny Makkelie reversed the decision, canceling the penalty, to the relief of the crowd.
