“The match at Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain, kicks off at 9pm (19:00 GMT).”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results confirm the match is scheduled between Atletico Madrid and Arsenal at the Civitas Metropolitano in Madrid. Regarding the time, two sources specify a kickoff time (21:00 CEST or 9pm), while others mention the date (April 29, 2026). Since multiple independent web sources confirm the location, teams, and general time frame, the claim is corroborated.
