Watch Arsenal FC Vs. Valencia CF UEFA Europa League Live Stream: Semifinal 1st Leg, Start Time, Preview
For the second year in a row, English Premier League side Arsenal FC will face a Spanish team in the UEFA Europa League semifinals, per the UEFA site, and after losing to Atlético Madrid in 2018, they expect a better result against sixth-place La Liga side Valencia CF. But Valencia have their own eyes on a bigger prize — not just the Europa League trophy, but an actual double if they can also defeat Barcelona in Spain’s Copa del Rey final later this month. The two finals will be played only four days apart, meaning that if Valencia get past Arsenal in the two-legged semifinal tie, they must fly from Seville to Baku, Azerbaijan. But first they need to focus on collecting away goals in the match that will live stream from London.
