L’Equipe player ratings Atletico Madrid 1-1 Arsenal 2026
The French paper thought this Atleti-AFC tie didn’t hit the heights of the PSG Bayern SF from the previous evening, with Atleti getting an average team rating of 5 and the Gunners getting 5.5, and no starter on either side got more than a 7.
Both Ben White and Martin Odegaard had a disappointing evening, with the duo getting a 4/10 from L’Equipe. It wasn’t the lowest overall though- Hancko in the Atleti defence got a 3/10 from the paper.
