Agi: Champions, l'Arsenal batte 1-0 l'Atletico Madrid e va in finale

AGI - L'Arsenal ha battuto 1-0 l'Atletico Madrid con un gol di Saka e si qualifica per la finale di Champions League. A vent'anni esatti dalla prima volta, l'Arsenal festeggia la qualificazione alla seconda finale di Champions League della sua storia.
È una rete di Saka allo scadere del primo tempo a mettere la firma sull'1-0 casalingo dei Gunners inflitto all'Atletico Madrid, dopo l'1-1 dell'andata.
Il primo tempo equilibrato
Il primo guizzo è spagnolo e arriva all'11'. Griezmann mette in mezzo dalla destra, Raya si allunga e Simeone giunge per primo sul pallone, ma la sua conclusione viene respinta. La partita è molto equilibrata e priva di particolari emozioni.
Il gol decisivo di Saka
Il risultato si sblocca improvvisamente al 45'. Trossard entra in area, sembra perdere l'attimo buono per il tiro ma poi conclude ugualmente con il destro trovando la pronta reazione di Oblak, ma il portiere sloveno non può nulla sul tap-in vincente a porta vuota di Saka. È la rete dell'1-0 che manda le due squadre negli spogliatoi.
Le occasioni nella ripresa
Al 6' della ripresa Lewis-Skelly sbaglia un retropassaggio di testa sul quale si avventa Simeone, il quale prova a saltare Raya ma subisce il ritorno di Gabriel poco prima di concludere, con il difensore brasiliano che salva in corner in scivolata.
Raya decisivo e chance sprecata
Cinque minuti dopo, Raya deve distendersi in tuffo sulla sua sinistra per fermare un destro di Griezmann. Gli uomini di Arteta hanno la chance del raddoppio al 21', quando Gyokeres spara alto di prima intenzione vanificando un perfetto assist dalla sinistra del neo entrato Hincapie'.
La gestione finale e la qualificazione
Nel finale, i padroni di casa gestiscono senza particolari affanni le ultime sfuriate offensive dei colchoneros e portano a casa una vittoria che vale il biglietto per la finalissima di Budapest del 30 maggio.
L'attesa per l'avversaria
Nell'atto conclusivo della competizione, l'Arsenal attende una tra Bayern Monaco e Paris Saint Germain, che si affronteranno domani in Germania dopo il 5-4 dell'andata in favore dei francesi.

Champions, Arsenal beat 1-0 Atletico Madrid and goes to the final.

Arsenal beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 with a goal by Saka and qualifies for the Champions League final. Exactly 20 years since their first time, Arsenal celebrates qualification for their second Champions League final in their history.

It was Saka’s goal at the end of the first half that secured the 1-0 home win for Arsenal against Atletico Madrid, after the 1-1 draw in the first leg.

The balanced first half
The first Spanish spark came at the 11’. Griezmann puts in from the right, Raya stretches and Simeone arrives first on the ball, but his shot is repelled. The game is very balanced and lacks particular emotions.

The decisive goal by Saka
The score opens suddenly at 45’. Trossard enters the area, seems to lose the good moment for the shot but then concludes equally with his right foot finding the ready reaction of Oblak, but the Slovenian goalkeeper cannot do anything about the winning tap-in into an empty net by Saka. It’s the 1-0 goal that sends the two teams to the dressing room.

The opportunities in the second half
At the 6’ of the second half, Lewis-Skelly makes a wrong header pass on which Simeone attacks, who tries to jump Raya but suffers the return of Gabriel just before concluding, with the Brazilian defender saving in corner with a slide.

Raya decisive and wasted chance
Five minutes later, Raya must dive into his left to stop a right-foot shot by Griezmann. Arteta’s men have the chance to double the score at 21', when Gyokeres shoots high with a first-time shot, wasting a perfect assist from the left of the new entrant Hincapie.

The final management and qualification
In the end, the hosts manage without particular difficulties the last offensive outbursts of the colchoneros and bring home a victory that is worth the ticket to the final in Budapest on May 30th.

The wait for the opponent
In the final act of the competition, Arsenal awaits one between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain, who will face each other tomorrow in Germany after the 5-4 first leg in favor of the French.

Azrael

Azrael means “God has helped,” or “Help of God.”

He’s the canonical Angel of Death in Islam. He appears centuries earlier in the apocryphal text Apocalypse of Peter.

He acts as a psychopomp responsible for transporting souls of the dead after their passing. In Islam, he’s said to hold a scroll regarding the fate of humans/mortals, recording & erasing their names at birth & death. He doesn’t decide when someone dies. Instead, he watches a celestial tree beneath God’s throne. When a leaf bearing a person’s name falls from this tree, it signals their death is due in 40 days. This role is similar to the role of the malakh ha-mavet (Angel of Death) in Judaism. He’s known as the Malak al-Mawt in the Quran. He’s also a resident of the 3rd Heaven.

In Islam, Azrael is 1 of the 4 major archangels. Alongside Jibra’il (Gabriel), Mika’il (Michael), & Israfil (Raphael).

Tradition holds that Azrael was the only angel brave, or obedient, enough to go down to Earth & gather the different colored clays needed for God to create Adam. For this, he was given authority over the separation of souls from bodies.

Surah 6:61 of the Quran mentions a buttload of angels of death interpreted as assistants of Azrael. When unbelievers in Hell cry out for help, an angel (identified as Azrael) will appear on the horizon & tell them that they have to remain.

The 8th Umayyad Caliph Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz once reported the commentary regarded Azrael I the Quran chapter As-Sajdah verse 11 (Quran 32:11), that taking many lives is VERY easy for the angel.

Traditional & mystical descriptions of Azrael are crazy pants: He’s described as being covered in eyes & tongues – 1 for every person currently living on Earth. When a person passes away, the corresponding eye on his body closes forever. Some texts claim he’s so massive that his feet rest in the lower heavens while his head reaches the throne of God.

He’s frequently pictured with 4,000 wings. In some Islamic commentaries, these wings are divided into “wings of Mercy” for the righteous & “wings for punishment” for the unfaithful. The wings of punishment are made from iron rods, hooks, & scissors. His body has a shape resembling a blue-colored ram. He has 70,000 limbs of foot & has 4 faces.

It’s reported that the Angel of Death was so huge that he dwarfed the Bearers of the Throne (Bearers of the Throne are a group of angels in Islam tasked with carrying the Throne of Allah (‘Arsh).). A group of angels which are known as the biggest among the angels.

Death & Azrael started off as 2 separate entities. But when God created death, God ordered the angels to look upon it. They swooned for 1,000 years. After the angels recovered, Death recognized that it must submit to Azrael.

Death will take on the form of a ram (the blue ram mentioned above). Death the ram is then placed Paradise & Hell. The ram (Death) is finally slaughtered by God Himself, causing Death to cease to exist. This is followed by God to declare to both people of Paradise & Hell that eternity has begun & their stated will never end.

A common belief holds that lesser angels are for us common folks. While saints, prophets, other important religious figures meet the archangel of death himself. Great prophets (like Moses & Muhammad) are invited politely by him. But saints are also said to meet Azrael in beautiful forms.

It’s said that when Rumi (a Sufi mystic) was about to die, he laid in his bed & met Azrael in human form. The belief that Azrael appears to saints before they die to prepare them for death is attested to buy the testament of Nasir Khusraw. In this testament he claims to have met Azrael during his sleep, informing him about his impending death.
