Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the game as Arsenal reached their first Champions League final in 20 years, defeating Atletico Madrid 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium to progress 2-1 on aggregate. With just a minute remaining in the first half, Jan Oblak spilled a shot from Leandro Trossard at the feet of Saka, leaving the Arsenal homegrown hero with the simplest of finishes from inside the six-yard area. Atletico applied pressure in the second half but Arsenal held on comfortably, putting themselves one victory away from a first-ever European Cup triumph. The final will be played in Budapest on May 30.
