Oblak with another sensational save from Ramsey!

It's unbelieveable from Atleti, who have done nothing all game, and now look to be heading to Madrid with the advantage on away goals.

Goaaaaaal!

82'

GOAL! Of course, Griezmann has now scored. Monreal is slow to get out of defence keeping the Frenchman onside and he beats Koscielny before firing past a helpless Ospina.

81'

9 minutes to go and not much happening. Antoine Griezmann has been very quiet tonight.
78'

The game has certainly slowed now. It looks like Atleti will back themselves to overturn a one goal lead in Madrid.
74'

He's never shy to hit them and Xhaka has just fired one over the bar from range.
69'

Lacazette is at the centre of everything as he now sends another header wide.

Goaaaaaal!

GOAL! Arsenal score! Wilshere's cross to the back post is met by Lacazette who nods it into the bottom corner!

54'

It's a slow start to this second half as Atleti look to be holding out for a draw.
50'

Almost five minutes gone and no card yet, so an improvement on the first half for Atletico.
46'

Teams are back out and we're underway again.
45'

And that's the half! Arsenal will be unhappy not to be winning.

42'

Three minutes to half time and somehow it's still goalless.
37'

Now Ospina makes a great save! Atleti carve an opening but Griezmann can't beat the Colombian.
33'

Atleti get their first sight at goal. Ospina saves love after Griezmann hits one from the edge of the box.
31'

And now Monreal goes close! Are Arsenal going to regret these missed chances?
29'

In the other semi-final, Marseille have taken the lead.

28'

Angel Correa goes down and Atleti want play stopped. It looked as if Ramsey got the ball first.
23'

Arsenal want a penalty on for a foul on Lacazette... You've seen them given.
21'

Welbeck misses one on one! Another stop from Oblak! Koscielny hits one wide from the resulting corner.
18'

More neat play from Arsenal but Wilshere puts a header straight at Oblak.
16'

Lacazette puts a header over the bar.
13'

And now Diego Simeone is sent to the stands for his complaints. It's not Atleti's night so far.

10'

Vrsaljko is off! He goes in late on Lacazette and that's his second booking!

9'

And now Welbeck gets a shot in, but it's a tame one and easily gathered by the goalkeeper.
7'

And another! Oblak produces a superb save!
6'

Chance! Welbeck finds Lacazette at the back post but his volleyed effort comes off the post.
3'

And now the 'Gunners' have a corner after good work from Bellerin. It's cleared but Gameiro can't break.
