UCL: UEFA should have cancelled Arsenal vs Atletico at half time – Sneijder

Former Netherlands midfielder, Wesley Sneijder, has claimed UEFA should have cancelled the Champions League semi-final second leg between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

Sneidjer hit out at the quality of the game, which was settled by Bukayo Saka’s first-half goal.

According to him, the level of football was far below the standard expected.

Speaking on Ziggo Sport, Sneijder said: “I said after 35 minutes, UEFA must intervene.

“They need to call London: both teams off the pitch, and tomorrow the final will be played between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

“I knew this would happen, Atletico dropped back and gave away possession, and Arsenal had a lot of control over the ball.”
