Watch Atletico Madrid Vs. Arsenal Live Stream: International Champions Cup, Start Time, Watch Live Online
The Unai Emery era starts for real on Thursday, as Sky Sports reports, when the new Arsenal manager coming off a championship season at Paris Saint-Germain looks to get a head start on taking the Gunners back to the top of the Premier League when his side faces Spanish La Liga runners-up Atletico Madrid in a preseason International Champions Cup match that will live stream from Singapore on Thursday.
Arsenal has played two warm-up games already, against lower-league sides Boreham Wood and Crawley Town, but a globally televised and live streamed showdown with Atletico Madrid will mark Emery’s first chance to show what he can do with the team managed for the previous 22 years, as Deadspin recounts, by Arsene Wenger.
A sixth-place finish for Arsenal in the 2017-2018 Premier League campaign was a new low for the Wenger-era Arsenal, which has qualified for the UEFA Champions League for 19 straight seasons under the Frenchman, as UEFA.com recounts, before a fifth-place finish in 2016-2017 consigned them to the second-tier Europa League.
In fact, Thursday’s International Champions Cup match will be a rematch of last season’s UEFA Europa League semifinal, which marked an unsatisfying end to Wenger’s tenure as Atletico won 2-1 on aggregate, as 11v11 records, and went on to hoist the Europa League trophy.
