Atlético Reportedly Files UEFA Complaint Over Cold Showers at Arsenal’s Emirates

UEFA rules cover hot water on matchdays, which leaves a gray area for training sessions.

Overview

  • Atlético staff reported only cold water in the away dressing-room showers during Monday’s training at the Emirates, and players cut the session short to shower at their hotel, according to multiple reports.
  • The supply was said to be restored roughly 40 minutes later, with The Sun reporting a 19:25 fix, by which time the squad had departed.
  • Ran, citing The Athletic, reports the issue affected Arsenal’s home dressing room as well.
  • Arsenal reportedly apologized to Atlético and said such a failure had not happened before, according to The Sun.
  • Reports say Atlético has lodged a complaint with UEFA, though there has been no public confirmation from UEFA or official statements from the clubs in the cited coverage.
